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.

No this is not late at night... it is 7:05 A.M. in the morning... I just happen to left my lights on... And I pass the cop on the left... then he followed me for a while before pulled me over.
And no, I didn't gave him an attitude.... I just told him, I don't know it is illegal and I told him I will remove it when I get home.... and Yes, he is trying to look for more serious problems... and he couldn't find any! May be because I am driving an Acura!
He gave me the ticket, and suggested I can go to the Court House and tell them I don't know it is illegal... So I am thinking that he just wanted to write a ticket to fill his quota for the week!
