They are illegal anywhere. Blue tint can not be on any non law-enforcement vehicle. Although they may or may not hassle you about it, technically yes they are illegal.

It all depends how blue they are. If they are true hyper WHITE and they produce a white light, you are safe. This law is ridiculous, I would like to see the Police pull over every new Audi, BMW, Lexus, and BMW for having blue-tinted HID headlights.

You aint listening/reading smoky. He said TURN SIGNALS. Not headlights.

But Guru is right, you cannot have a blue bulb in the turn signals EVEN if it illuminated hyper white. Most cops will give you a ticket for the use of blue bulbs, they dont even want to hear you tell them "um but officer, it shines a bright white light....." He will come back with a simple "son, what color is the bulb?"

Rear turn signals must be amber or red. Front turn signals must be amber or white.

HID bulbs shouldnt have to be tinted though. the light produced is colored without the need of tinting the bulb glass.
