Blue Headlights?

Hi!
Where is a good place to get blue angel eyes that emits a blue light and also allows the ring to have that blue glow?
Thanks!

Something like this.

This is illegal and will get you ticketed all the time.

Just about any color except blue (where you can get in trouble for impersonating a police officer at the worst case scenario) or red (other emergency vehicle or allegedly some idiot can somehow think that's your tail lights)

Yeah any blue or red lights on the outside can come off as impersonation of a police officer I believe is what it can be the cause of being pulled over. I'm not a cop nor a lawyer but you know

That would make you real popular with the fuzz. And drain your bankaccount on the count of the tickets.

Also gotta call Bs on "not knowing its illegal". Anyone smart enough to post the question on a board, on the right forum subsection, without having the slightest knowledge of what colors of light are used in traffic is trolling imho.

You'd be better off going RGB, so you can always go back to white.

Ummmm....

What's the difference between this 'blue' and the standard 'blue' we get with the new LED angel eye setups......???

Simply more blue? I don't really see it as an issue here

Technically yes, but they sure look blue to me. I don't get it maybe my eyes are f'd and get tell colors correctly.

You try to explain that to LEO, then to the judge, and then you tell us what happened.

Yea as far as I know it has to be red AND blue to be considered illegal. Many cars have blue front headlights stock. Anything over 4k tends to look pretty blue. Plus many "party" buses or limos have red, blue, purple, green etc led light strips and such. As long as you don't have both or they aren't strobe I believe you are fine.
Anyways, back to OPs question, Umnitza makes a nice set called Orion, and I think they have color changing model as well.
Best of luck!

Wait, aren't those the same thing?
