ask your local police department. I dont think you can use blue lights on your car like that. Unless you are talking about the really bright lights some cars have that have a blueish tint to them. You could probably do it with some clear corners and blue bulbs. If you even wanna go as far as tinting the lights blue that might help.

Well, buy yourself some blue bulbs. The stock ones are amber colored so it's just a matter of replacing the bulbs with a different color.

However, I believe different color indicator bulbs are illegal in most states...and quite frankly, look pretty ricey in my opinion.

You can't have front facing red or blue lights in PA, they're reserved for emergency vehicles. That includes your running lights.

i put them on my car when i got halo's. first you would have to get clear side markers and just put a blue bulb in them. i got them from goodguys auto and they were just a couple bucks.

they are illegal for sure though but they look absolutely sick with halos. cops are next to me all the time and they dont say anything. probably cause my headlights are so bright and i run my fog lights all the time so they cant see the side markers haha.

ill send you a pic of mine in a sec.
