Default What type bulb?

What size bulb does the headlight switch take, and how do you get to it? I was wanting to change the color to blue. Thanks!

Derek

You can't replace it with a colored bulb.(not made) I just made a couple leds and wired them in, then drilled holes and superglued the leds into the clear plastic. once it's apart you'll see what I mean.
