Yes, festoon bulbs. These come in a vast selection of ratings and dimensions.
Careful measurements should reveal something suitable in size.

Various voltages are available but 12 volts is the most common. If using an LED bulb, then it will probably need a DC supply. For an incandescent bulb, AC or DC is fine.

Do double check the inside of the unit, just in case it already contains a light source, and the fuse holder is intended to contain a fuse to protect the supply to the light.
