How to replace the glove box light?

I did a search but no luck on what tool or how to remove the light fixture in the glove box. I tried unsuccessfully with a coin Does it pop out?from another post turn counter clockwise?

In fact it doesn't pop out from the inside of the the glove box, ask me how i know? . You have to replace from the top interior of the glove box. Which entails opening the entire glove box assembly.

So can you give us a step by step on actually how to do it so everyone will know for future reference?

Where do you find the bulb???? My dealership said I can only get the whole harness to get a bulb!!!!! I got pissed at that and converted it to 4 LEDs... nice bright cobalt blue light.... I also rigged up a switch so they are only on when the glove box is open....

It's a T74 bulb. Can get them almost anywhere. My local Pep Boys had them, but online sites like superbrightleds.com have them as well
