It wouldn't. Red light is used as it doesn't cause glare in dark light conditions, which being courtesy lights is their purpose. Blue lights would just look crap.

far as i know thats why they have them

so oncoming cars can see you open ya door at night

red means warning

No they are courtesy lights. In Mitsubishi's current brochures the description is "Door courtesy lamps - front". Not sure why they don't have them in the back now as mine does. The purpose is to light the ground before you step out of the car, to see puddles etc etc.

if that was the case why arnt they clear and facing the ground

its courtesy to let other drivers know your getting out of the car saves your door too

You shouldn't be opening your door when there's a car coming, that's just common sense. So no...they're not for that.
