It's kinda like changing your brakes lights from red to blue,

It's listed in the HTA also I think there was post a few yrs ago regarding lights, & colours, etc. However I'm too lazy right now to pull that link for you.

tell him to put amber lights in there and show the pics on the court day and pray that the officer will drop the charge.

It Falls within a grey area in the highway traffic act. From my understanding it has to do with the visibilty fo the light and not the colour. Lights facing forward must white to amber in colour.

"Turn Signals - Red, Amber or White is LEGAL. Nowhere in the HTA does it state that turn signals can ONLY be red and amber. The HTA does state however that intermittent (regular intervals) of blue light flashing are illegal since they can only be used on snow-removal trucks). Red light in front is also illegal unless you are driving a government-operated vehicle (i.e. Ambulance, Police Vehicle). Green flashing is illegal too."
