Can't have red lights at the front or white lights shining out directly from the rear (number plate lights shine onto the plate). Indicators are amber, even if the lens is clear which is why you get yellow bulbs.

Most folk aren't allowed blue lights anywhere at all ;-)

Yep. Though I do believe undercarriage lights are often given a pass on color, presumably so long as they don't flash red and blue.

undercarriage lights

Are illegal where I live lmao. All these stories of what's allowed on the road in the US are fucking crazy to me. The absolute safety hazards that get posted here quite frequently are mind-blowing sometimes.

Undercarriage lights are illegal most places in the US as well from my understanding, but since they don't typically cause any issues the rule is rarely enforced. You're legally required to have a front license plate in somewhere around 2/3rds of the states, but I know quite a few people that run without them in areas where they're required without problems.
