You would definitely not want a #57 size bulb! Their base is .5" diameter and they are used for exterior lamps. Get the proper bulb size from your owner's manual and go from there but note that you may need to add additional filters to get it down to a reasonable brightness.
The #57 has a BA9S base, which is a 9mm miniature bayonet -- in SAE 0.35", or 0.41" inclusive of the pins. I pulled the lamp from the socket and that's what is printed on it, 57.
I found an LED lamp with this base that is not polarity sensitive, but does not come in red. Both are 1" end-to-end. A buck apiece.
