I'm in need of one of these too. If you find them anywhere let me know. Mine was missing when I bought the bike, and the PO just put some clear shipping tape over the hole.

Blue is rare. as far as I can determine, they dry out and pop off. The high beam is often left on, so only the blue indicator is on a lot. Heat builds up in the little tube where the bulb is and that heat drys out the cap, glue and eventually it just falls apart and falls off.
I've taken apart a few instrument brackets for repainting and discovered that as I pop out the caps.

I suggest you use whatever cap you can find. Or at least put a blue LED in there. At least it will be blue.
