555 are 6V, the 194 are 12V... you would blow the 555 bulbs very quickly.
If you are fixed on wanting to do this, try using a blue sharpie on a 194 bulb
OR
You can buy an aftermarket driver board that supports 555 bulbs.

Interesting I have never herd of the sharpie trick, any experince with how that looks?
Do you know if anywhere sells blue 194 12V lights?
Quoted from TheLaw:Let's hope not
hehe, I've seen a few in the wild with blue lights just not sure how they did it or if they are using LED's which will soon ruin the topper board.

Looks like garbage

Comet used to sell LED 194...may want to check
Why not use the the 194 lamps and slap some blue bulb condoms on them if you absolutely must have color.
Imo original, non-colored, are the best though.
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Don't use 555 leds. They will melt in minutes. Ask me how I know...
I saw a guy with a White Water on route who did this about 10 years ago. The topper LEDs all looked like roasted marshmallows. It was funny.
