Why would you want to do that? You wouldn't be able to see where you're going

The law says that between the hours of sunset and sunrise you need to display white front lights and red rear lights on any vehicle using the road. Having blue ligths would be totally illegal anyway, and having just your sidelights on is a stupid idea, i'm sure you would get pulled over and a good anal bashing for doing so.

The need to be white but assuming the colour is suitable then it is legal to drive displaying only side-lights when you're in a 30 limit (actually not, see the link).
You should use headlights as a precaution, even thought it is not a legal requirement.
Information you need is here - http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/08.shtml
