I thought you just twist and unplug to get it out (Assuming you took shifter area off the center). Its been a while since I took my center console apart so I can't remember how, but I know it does come off.

you can cut that little holder the bulb sits in so it will still screw in
and then replace the bulb with a LED, its brighter and won't burn out, i ve replaced mine and also the lights over the window and door switches, very easy

the LED isnt a bulb its a diode, and i m pretty sure GM doesnt sell em.
just go to radioshack and ask em, you should get a little LED and a resistor so it wont burn up when connected to 12 volts of power
