Now for the license plates...does anyone know if there are any laws that say you cannot use red LEDs for the plate since there is a concern of the white ones being too blue.

Well, the clear ones would make the taillights look pink. Here's why.
The stock bulbs are meant to illuminate the red housing. The white LED clusters are meant to illuminate white, and put off a pure white light. So, the pure white light + red housing = pink taillights, which is definitely gonna get you pulled over.
I know you can't have red anywhere on the rear of your car unless it's a brake/tail light. In IL I know it's illegal, but then again, so is breathing.
You can't have the red neon license plate brackets, I know that much. I'd think that red license plate bulbs would get you in trouble as well, since it'd interfere with readability. The blue ones would probably be the same story, to a lesser extent.
I put the white ones in my car because I thought they looked cool, like the new Lexus's have.

I possibly wanna do Blue or Red but I would like to know opinions of both if anyone has seen them. I'm concerned about either not being bright enough since I feel the stock bulbs are not bright enough for me so I may just go white LEDs.

Most people are using blue it seems. Either that, or white. If you want to be original, I say go for the red, although it's not for me personally. I use y interior lights a lot, and I don't think red would help any except for looks.
I say go with white.
