Yes, it is much easier to access... there is one phillips head that you take out... its on the inside... you should see a little hole

yea i read the diy's but it wasnt working for me. turns out i was going in with the phillips at a bad angle anyway i guess the bulb isnt the problem cause after i switched it, it still doesnt work... could it be the socket? and its probably not the fuse cause all the other lights work
