A few years ago Police used to care about this, But now there is too much other shit they can do you for. There are countless cars that kick about Glasgow City Centre with blue side lights and the traffics dont even bother with them. At the most they tell you to change them.

Yip if they don't actually shine blue theres no chance the police would even know they weren't standard.
