Sorry to disagree, David.  It's a light bulb.  When these puppies were
built, there was no such thing as a blue LED, or a white one.  You could
substitute a blue LED now by calculating the proper value of resistor and
substituting it for the existing one -- solder to the resistor leads and
then clip out the old resistor.  If you want the formula to calculate the
resistor, let me know.
