Replacing console shift indicator bulb

[JVersh]

Hello all. I was wanting to know if anyone could give me instructions on how to replace the console shift indicator bulb in my 2003 Buick Regal LS Joseph Abboud. Cannot find any videos on YouTube that directly addresses this model and the procedure. I really don't want to start prying on stuff that I don't need to and break some plastic. Thanks in advance. And to clarify, I am not talking about the instrument cluster. I am talking about the PRND321 plate next to the automatic shift lever.

Replying to my own post because I just went ahead and attacked it. Pryed up the faux woodgrain border bezel around the shifter. Broke a few clips, I’m sure due to age, but not enough to keep it from staying put. Was able to pry up enough on the black backing of the shift plate to discover no bulb, no socket, no yellow diffuser plate. My 2003 Buick Regal LS Joseph Abboud does not have a backlit console shift plate. Pretty cheesy cost cutting in my opinion. Must be why I cant find any videos on the subject. For those interested, there's your answer.
