LED Running lights. Blue or Amber

All,
I'm about to install some DIY running lights.
I purchased some 10mm Blue and some 10mm Amber.
my truck is Dk Blue.
any suggs on the color I should install.
I figure Blue would look cool since
1: blue looks cool. and 2: the truck is blue...
however...
Amber. Is prob safest since I think thats the color of most running lights.
and I know it wont look "BAD"
I'm on the fence.
any votes of color out their?

Blue would be sweet though.

Is there any way to put both LED's under clear covers. Then you can "normally" run amber, but still be able to go blue when it won't cause problems, i.e. track, show, ect.

Just a thought, I don't know if it would work

Im not electronics expert. But I do know they make multicolor'd LED's and via multiplexing
I could set it up to A=Amber B= Blue via ah switch. I didnt know Blue could be "illegal"
thanks for the feedback.

Blue or red lights visible from the front of a vehicle = BIG NONO.

I said amber, just for the sake of legality.

I installed some extra LED runnin' lights for coolness factor and so other dummy drivers could see me coming
