It is illegal to use any other colour apart from white/yellow on the road in the UK. Also these LED conversion bulbs are not road legal anyway.

The led's are perfectly legal as long as they are the correct colour.....

There is a big difference from the LED systems coming on some modern vehicles and the conversion bulbs you can put in your Saxos original light cluster. This is why reputable retailers such as Demontweeks list such items as “not E-marked, so are therefore for off-road and show use only.” To fit such a light to your Saxo and use it on the public road would be illegal no matter what colour it was.
