It's illegal in Georgia to have blue lights of any kind on your car while driving on the street unless you are in law enforcement or an emergency vehicle
"O.C .G.A. § 40-8-90: Emergency Vehicles
Equipment; restrictions to use blue lights
No person, firm, or corporation shall operate a vehicle equipped with or containing a device capable
of producing blue lights, with the exception of federal, state or local law enforcement vehicles,
vehicles with a permit granted by a state agency, or antique, hobby and special interest vehicles
under certain conditions. An exception exists for any elected sheriff who is using a personal
vehicle in law enforcement activity, pursuant to an agreement between the sheriff and the county
governing authority. Violation is a misdemeanor. Any person who uses a vehicle equipped with blue
lights in the commission of a felony is subject to a fine of not less than $1,000 or not less than
one year imprisonment. Effective July 1, 2005. SB 178"
