Are these legal to put on?

The only way they are illegal is if when they pass by say the brakes, forks, etc and males an intermittent flash.
My bike has blue leds throughout and all 4 cops I spoke to said it was 100% legal, plus the HTA says its legal too.

The sections of the HTA that were quoted are still current, and in a nutshell, anything other than white or amber to the front, and red to the rear is grounds for a traffic stop and possibly a fine. The fine is $85.

If a ticket were issued, the defendant could ask for a trial, where the officer would have to testify that there was light coming from the motor vehicle, visible to the front, in a colour other than white or amber. The conviction would likely register, unless the defendant could raise a reasonable doubt in the mind of the JP. This is where you produce countless pages of home-grown internet research on the topic and the opinion of Simon Borys. Mr. Borys raises some interesting opinions on the subject, and it may result in a dismissal (which is good for defendant). In order to counter that defence, the officer would have to collect very good evidence at the roadside, that after appeal could potentially make some case law on the subject.

If it were me, I would have a harder time issuing a charge for lighted valve caps than I would for a neon glow kit underneath.

I would have to disagree. 62(2) mentions white only... but that's the headlight requirements. If you had a blue headlight then yes it would be illegal. If you have a white headlight then 62(2) is fulfilled.

Also, if the intent of the law was to ban blue lights, then 14.1 would read "red OR blue" but it says "red AND blue". If that was a mistake they would of fixed it by now.

You see transport trucks with a bunch of blue lights in the front all the time and they have to get inspected regularly. Doesn't seem to be a problem with them.
 
Basically, glow sticks for your rims. xD

Seriously, why would you want rice in your wheels? Also, it looks like it will be a distraction to other motorist and if you are in a group, other riders.

You also see 5,6,7,800 hp muscle cars on the road but those are cool too. Don't drive anything modified newer that 1973 or the majority of police won't like it. Different rules for different groups despite what any laws say. I have lights for my bike too because I live in the middle of nowhere and ride at night a lot. You see me coming down a side road at night with them on. That said they're always on white.
 
Red light to front. $110 fine. . Flashing Blue and yellow is reserved for snow removal and blue and red so for the po-po. Green is volunteer hosemonkey

Interpret this sec 62 which is lighting in the ontario hta...

(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 (2)

and

(32) No person shall operate a lamp that produces intermittent flashes of blue light on a highway except,
(a) a person operating a road service vehicle in the circumstances described in subsection (31); or
(b) a person operating a police department vehicle, together with a lamp that produces intermittent flashes of red light, as permitted by subsection (14.1). 2007, c. 13, s. 17 (8).

means cant any have red and blue to front. Blue alone from what I understand is ok. Except if flashing. And red is a general no-no
