    The red led that is currently in will have a different resistor than you need for the blue led. Everything inside the SNES runs at 5V. So just buy a standard 5mm blue led and lets say a 150 Ohm resistor for it and connect it to the 5V voltage regulator marked with 7805.

    Do like I did on my Sega Genesis and put an RGB color changing LED in. Looks cool. Was a direct drop in replacement too. No other mods needed.
