It depends if the bulb holder is broken or not. So remove the front trim, then remove the silver heat cap and see.

If the bulb holder base not broken or missing, you can just gently pull the old bulb out with pliers, and gently press the new one into the existing base all from the front.

If the base is broken or missing, you need to pull the cluster, open it, split the two circuit boards, and twist new bulb with holder into place from behind.

Do you just twist and pull the heat cap then pull straight out the bulb?

Pull both straight out towards you. I used needle nose pliers.
