What every green and blue warning lamp on the Peugeot 308 I (2007) means, from indicators and headlamps to the directional headlamps fault light.
Green and blue lamps on your instrument panel are operation indicator lights. When one of them comes on, it simply confirms that the matching system has started working. They are there to keep you informed, not to warn you of a problem, with one exception covered below.
This guide covers the first-generation Peugeot 308 (308 I), based on handbook edition ed01-07, which applies to vehicles produced from 20 September 2007. Some lamps depend on the version or equipment of your car, so you may not see every one of them.

This image shows the instrument panel layout. The handbook places it under the heading "Monitor thoroughly" as an introduction to the lamps on the panel, rather than as a lamp with its own meaning.
What to do:

What to do:
The icon is a front fog lamp symbol. When it comes on, it confirms that your front fog lamps are in operation.
What to do:
The icon is the directional headlamps symbol. If it flashes, there is a fault in the directional headlamps system. An audible signal and a message on the multifunction display may come with it.
What to do:
When you switch on the ignition, the orange and red warning lights come on and should go out once the engine is running. Green and blue lights only confirm that a system is working. If a light flashes or you are unsure what it means, check the relevant page of your handbook.
Most green and blue lamps on your Peugeot 308 simply tell you that something you switched on is working. The one to watch is the directional headlamps light: if it flashes, the system has a fault.
