When I did mine, I couldn't get the panel with the switch off so I just removed the plastic cover over the light and that was it! I don't know why the switch wasn't coming off, I was afraid of ruining the plastic molding.

just a fyi...if ya plug in the new bulb and it doesn't work, take it out and turn it around to reverse the leads. they have to have the right polarity.
don't ask how i know this.
