Red face the bright blue bulbs - fiesta zetec

Heya

I would like some advice on the bright blue lights that people seem to have these days,

i would like to know if they are legal, if they are available from halfords as straight swaps/with little modifacation, and what type of lamp they are.

i would also like to know what part number i should be looking at for a 2008 1.4 ford fiesta zetec

i might get some for my V40 - if i approve lol i hate getting retina's full of these at night >.<

thanks for the help guys

as said not legal, White light to the front, or amber for indicators.
halfrauds also sell 100W bulbs,, which also are not legal for road use, just because its on sale doesnt mean its legal.

they also look poo , and Very very chavvy as well as upsetting peoples vision.

Going on with this .... a friend of mine I think it was last year bought what I think where called Rainbow LED's , they sort of changed colour flicking from one colour to another . He put them in his 2005 year Mondeo's sidelights .... lol lol he must have had them in for at least 2 days until the police pulled him over and was told to remove them at once !

I bought a set of LED sidelights for my old nissan NX I used to have, they were advertised as being white but when they were installed they had a slight blue tinge to them. I was pulled over on a 'routine' stop, and the officer said he wasn't going to hassle me over them, but some of his colleagues would. I removed them to be on the safe side.
