Guess that's one thing that european countries are more up tight about: front: white only, side: yellow only, back:red only, and if the original light is of incandescent type, one cannot replace it with a LED one. If other colors want to be used, or underlight neons under the vehicle, or displays attached to the cockpit into a place where the driver can see them whilst driving, they have to be wired through the handbrake or other device that prevents the use when the vehicle is moving.

In Ontario, Canada the law is very vague.

They say no blue or red to the front and no intermittent whatsoever.

"Red and blue lights to the front restricted
(14.1) In addition to the lighting requirements in this Part, a police department vehicle may carry lamps that cast red and blue lights, but no other motor vehicle shall carry any lamp that casts red and blue lights to the front. 2007, c. 13, s. 17"

Strobes are definitely not allowed on moving vehicles not responding to an emergancy.
i.e. vollies going to station or chiefs going to the scene.
