01 Silverado ashtray light

The ashtray light in my 01 Silverado appears to be burned out. I don't smoke and only use the tray to keep stuff in and would like to see into tray at night. I pulled the tray but can't see how to access the bulb, I see no screws holding the tray mounting bracket in place. Anyone know the procedure for changing this bulb?

Is the "knee bolster" the lower trim piece below the ashtray and the 3 power ports? And is the "instrument panel storage compartment" the panel that contains the power ports and ashtray? Thanks

"Knee bolster" is the trim that runs under the steering column, lower dash, that your knees are level with. I/P storage compartment is the glove box.

The links given for Removal Procedure and Installation Procedure result in: “You are not authorized to view the requested information.”

Because you are not authorized. I think the instructions are pretty self explanitory.
