If you're feeling adventurous you can replace with a blue LED, but the
regular bulb is a lot less work and will work fine for a long time.  Don't
lose the blue filter over the bulb, I don't think it comes with the bulb
itself.

In a pinch you may be able to temporarily use grain-of-wheat bulb from
Radio Shack (12v 60 ma, come in packs of two) -- they have very thin wire
leads but might be thick enough, or you could solder slightly thicker wires
to them.
