I finally found out and was a breeze to change the air vent popped out and you could see the wiring with the bulb harness

Ha! That's what I thought, too.


Not sure where you found the bulb pictured there but it looks nothing like the one I saw when taking my console apart. To fix the loose lid it was required to remove the entire console and the amber light was held in with a screw. When looking closely it looks like 3 very small diodes behind the clear lens, doesn't look like an easy change.
