I can tell you the bulb I used to replace mine (one burnt out) when I get home.

As for blue bulbs, don't know about that one.

As for not breaking anything, just get a little screwdriver (wrap in masking tape if you want to prevent any scratching) and pop it in the side of the plastic thing (one of the short sides). You should be able to just lever it down and the plastic bit should pop out.
