You have to take the whole shifter console out to get access to the bulb. It just twists out when you have the thing upside down.

The bulb size is a #74 bulb. I also sell the regular incandescent bulbs or the LEDs. And for future reference, yes you can just pull it straight out. If you can't get a good grip, you can even use pliers if you are careful - it's worked for me.

I took the whole center console off since i was installed other bulbs also, but it was pretty easy to get out from the back.
