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.
