very carefully duh!... haha... there are a few ways... you can access it by the side sorta behind it... Or you can slide out the center console and do it that way... Oh wait, for some reason I tihnk you can get to it by pulling the waterfall out... brb to verify!

ok if you pull the waterfall off, it's really cake to get to it from where the HVAC controls would be

pull out the little plug in the footwell of the passenger side, gently pull out on the carpet, reach your hand in behind the waterfall area, gently grasp the base of the bulb/socket area and twist gently and pull it out.

i've never removed the waterfall to do it, so i can't say which way is easier.

When I did mine, I did it the way beedee described. Just make sure you first pull the round plastic tab which is holding the carpet to the center console out first before you reach around back or you might tear the carpet. It will give you some more flexability in sticking your arm back there too.

think the mount/hole is like one of those 1/4 turn deals, and once it's out, it's some work to pull the bulb out... think I used some pliers... Its just so small it's tough to really get ahold of it...
