it only comes as an assembly, you can't easily replace individual bulbs.

quick search yielded this Home Page > Search > 63258362039 > ES#175000 .TOP LIGHT - 63258362039
for the white one

I thought that's what you were asking

the assembly is composed of individual bulbs. if you shorted out the bulbs, or the assembly just isn't working anymore, the only way to remedying the problem is to buy a whole new assembly, if in fact it is the assembly that is malfunctioning.

I think the only way to change a single LED in it would be if you were handy with a soldering iron and aquired a replacement of the same specs. But you are saying the whole thing went out which most likely means it isn't a LED problem so much as a circuit board problem.
