MG MGA - High beam blue jewel - MGA speedometer

I have had a query form a guy with a twin cam chasing a replacement high beam blue jewel (not sure if that is the correct terminology) for his speedometer - his has red one fitted and he wants to change to correct blue colour - are these available anywhere other than from any old speedo?

Mike, as far as I know, red is the correct colour.
Replacement jewels are available on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273781000426.

Mine is red.

Mine was originally red but I have to admit that I had it swapped for a blue one when I had the speedo re-calibrated to suit my 5-speed gearbox.

I find that the blue light is easier to see at night than the red one.
