Any tips on how to replace this light that lights up the shift console? 2009 CX9

I'm not certain if the 2009 is the same as the 2013, but the trim around the shifter on my model pops right up. I pulled straight up from the cupholder side to unhook those clips and then carefully pulled up from the sides to get the other couple of clips. Needed a small screwdriver or a pick to pop the light out of the shifter trim piece. The trim on the sides of the radio might overlap this piece ever so slightly at the very bottom. If so, push them in slightly when lifting the panel away.

Here is a pic with the trim removed.
