That is really a small incandessant bulb. I don't think blue LED's were in existence when they manufactured the Vanagon (or they were still hideously expensive). In any case, the bulb, and all the LED's in that column are just a "push-in" fit into connectors. If you take the instrument cluster out and take off the blue plastic circuit board, you can reach all the LED's and the bulbs. If you were so inclined, you could change the bulb to an LED or change the colors of all the other LED's If you change the bulb to an LED - make sure you use an LED that is in the voltage and current range that is present in that socket.
