I think they need to be amber or yellow (might be rears only).
If anything you could hook them up to a toggle for shows or what not and make them stobe or pulse to music or movement

yeah that could be a good idea, how do you make them strobe, is that a type of toggle you can buy??

blue is illegal. blue is used for emergency and city plows. there is a tint of blue you can use, but it's almost white. most of the headlights you see are too blue for MN law, but it comes stock on cars now. you can use the white, it just can't blink.
you can have amber in the back, just cannot be on solid, just a blinker
i know alot about light laws. i got in lot of trouble when younger. and now i need to know and i push it.
