oh, well I guess that makes sense if you're driving a TA, cuz Pontiac probably matched the light with the rest of the interior lighting (red). If you drive a Camaro, the previous owner apparently installed aftermarket LEDs or something in there. Anyways to answer your question, I'm not entirely sure, hehehehe. I know you can "wiggle" that plate around...so I think maybe you can sorta pry the switch plate up to where it pops off and then maybe get to the light that way. Try it!

First use a screwdriver or prybar to pop off the plastic lock slider. (The one with the red sticker on it that shows when the door is unlocked.) It will take a little bit of force - be careful not to scratch the plastic under the slider.

Then remove the trim screw in the well behind the pull handle. You can then wiggle the plate off. The bulb is in a socket that twist-locks in to the plate.
