Default Glove box lamp replacement

Not trying to sound too stupid, but how do you get to the glove box lamp to replace it? Didn't want to pry on the lens for fear of breakage.

Pull down on the right side (passenger side) when partially down continue pulling down and to the right so it will clear the plug on the left side of the light. A good replacement bulb is a 36 led 39mm bulb, way brighter than stock. These are polarity sensitive so turn it around if it doesn't work I had more trouble getting the lamp assembly back into position than getting it out.Here is a link under $4 for 2 https://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-39mm-C...t/391966549448

Thanks for the info. Got it out with no problem. Issue was with the plunger/actuator; it was stuck all the way in. Freed it up and lightly lived it. Working great now.
