This is not a BIG FASHING Beacon on top of a 747! If you can mistaken that to a police car... man... go see a doctor!

hmmm.........you didn't express your feeling this way to the cop, did you?
Be aware, that if this was late at night, this may have been an excuse to pull you over and give you a quick sniff to make sure you had not been drinking, your car wasn't stolen, you didn't have the police chiefs daughter inside, etc. It's happened to me.
The point is that they are not interested in your lights. They are looking for more serious problems. However, if you gave them attitude about the lights, they are more likely to issue a ticket for them than if you just said "I'm so sorry, it'll never happen again"
As for the size for the light; this may be before your time, but a popular customizing trick from the 1950's were called 'blue dots' where a tiny blue/purple lens (1/4 inch dia) is inserted in the red stop-light lens.
When placed in the right spot, it glows blue.
These blue dots got tickets all the time years ago, and they are even smaller than your blue lights.
People still install blue dots these days, but they don't get many tickets because these people are now 50+++ years old and have a good attitude about the cops.
