From my experience it should pop out from the back side of the panel. If you feel back there you will find the sockets with a wire tail. The sockets, with bulb installed have a row of about 12 spring steel 'fingers' for a snap in/out fit. Just wiggle and pull it out, replace the bulb and nsnap it back in. I have not had to do one in place, just on the removed panel, but I think you will find it quite easy.
