The light is "Blue" because it was included on there during editing and post production, so I will give you that.
I can give an exact page when I get home. This is the definitive "Bible" that explains how the flux bands were seen to be "Blue", yes in the movie they were a light blue, but originally filmed (in the original RAW footage, they were white, white would be easier to paint over/edit than any other color). So the poll should say "What were the lights ON the DeLorean DURING filming". The correct answer would be white, not B-L-U-E.
Now if the question were "What were the lights during post production?" then the answer would be a "Light Blue".

I would imagine that if you are a stickler for what was on the car during filming, as opposed to the final vision of the production team, you shouldn't have working displays for the Time Circuit months, etc. To each their own, though

The question is "Screen Accurate Flux Bands (Blue vs. White)" Well with the RAW footage, they were white. The Bob's vision, whenever you read that book, was much different than what they wound up with in the movie (in any case). The lightning bolt was even debated about when the D was travelling back to 1985. The Bob's thought it was "Too thick" but did not have time to go back and change it.
Just telling you what I read in that book.
FYI, it is the Bob's who call that book the "Definitive Coffee book" of the Back to the Future franchise not something I made up. It's in the foreword by Bob Gale and Bob Z even stays it in the afterword.
The book is worth the $30 bucks.

Just saw this. I love your R2 I had a Thompson silver queen vacumn (I believe slightly commercial) in the early 80's and my kids used to call it their R2 .Star wars was my husband and my first date. I went on later to work with bally,midway and Atari and Andy dukay (brought pacman from japan here) and then I became Mrs Pacman and the mrs pacman bride was made for me in honor of the new game preview and our wedding. Made the news back in 82 danced with a robot at the trade show in Chicago at our reception. You brought back some memories for me when I saw your r2 and couldn't help sharing this with you. Mary Ps I believe when I was much younger I was the only woman electro-mechanical lady in Michigan at the time. Cleaned and repaired lots of pin balls and candy machines. Loved the work.
