I say every state laws are different . Look at the new rides out there they have blue headlights and they are stock . So just give them a try and see if you get pulled over or not they will just give you a warning anyways. I have had goldish/blueish hid like bulbs in my black housings for about a yr now and no problems with my cops here.

RE: blue colored bulbs?
Turn signal colour:
Until the early 1960s, most front turn signals worldwide emitted white light and most rear turn signals emitted red. Amber front turn signals were voluntarily adopted by the auto industry in the USA for most vehicles beginning in the 1963 model year, though front turn signals were still permitted to emit white light until FMVSS 108 took effect for the 1968 model year, whereupon amber became the only permissible colour for front turn signals. Presently, almost all countries outside North America require that all front, side and rear turn signals produce amber light. In North America the rear signals may be amber or red. International proponents of amber rear signals say they are more easily discernible as turn signals, and US studies in the early 1990s demonstrated improvements in the speed and accuracy of following drivers' reaction to brake lamps when the turn signals were amber rather than red. US regulators and other proponents of red rear turn signals claim there is no proven lifesaving benefit to amber signals

the stock headlights that are "blue" are actually white with a very small blue-ish tint, they HIDs which are street legal. I'm pretty sure that you can not have any other lights other than white or amber. Don't risk it, put some stock bulbs in there or some Silverstars, if they are street legal HIDs, I would say just leave them in

ur front turn signals are supposed to edmit an amber color not that funky color u got on, i'll just let u go with a warning this time..
(peeks inside the car and sees a mariguana joint on the carpet)

RE: blue colored bulbs?
I have like I said bluish and goldish hid like bulbs and never got pulled over Im a risky gal anyways . I do what I want anyways . Ive ran all blueish bulbs and the cops around here dont care . Ive seen so many run blueish bulbs which most of the time are white bulbs most xenon bulbs are legal . I actually have titnuim bulbs for my sides and turn signals and for my backups the 7led bulbs been running those for 2yrs now . I also have yellow bulbs in my foglights which are tinted . So I pretty much get away with my lighting and I actually accidently drove with my red led under neons on the interstate and around town without knowing and got away with that also. Got home and saw they were on. SO it all depends which state or town your in to see if cops pay attention or not.
