Are there any legal implications to changing the color? Perhaps it's only illegal for red and blue?
Each state defines what colors you can have differently. Red and 'flashing' are the only ones prohibited at the federal level.

Yes colored lights are regulated. White and yellow are allowed facing forward. IDK if I'd risk it with as much attention as the CT gets as it is. One grumpy cop, and... Of course parked (Probably not on a public roadway tho) you can do whatever

Red is definitely a big no no! looks like break lights and the truck is moving backwards!

In Virginia volunteer firefighters and rescue personnel can run flashing red lights when responding to a call, driving to the firehouse.

In MANY states, those lights will get you a ticket.

Running that on the street is simply irresponsible.

Cool idea - if sitting still / parked.
red light emitting forward while traveling on a public road? Hell to the nope.
