"Traction Off" Lightbulb Blew

My microscopic light bulb for my "OFF" on my traction control button burnt out.

As you can imagine this is extremely frustrating (and I haven't even been out since it blew).

Can I get a new one without replacing the whole damn switch? I'll post a picture of the bulb later if anyone wants it.

This is it and its extreme smallness, that's my key behind it for scale.

I would be forever grateful if you found one

This is what you get when it's removed from the base:

I guess that that is not a current limited circuit? As that was an incandescent bulb.

I would be able to "mill" down one of my 3mm LEDs to fit the socket, but it would just blow if there was no resistance in the circuit. And fitting a resistor in there would be essentially impossible.

Just answered that one myself, definitely not. But I wasn't optimistic
