Yeah, there is no mechanism to shut it off when lid is closed.
1) pull ashtray out.
2) remove the two t30 Torx screws directly under the ashtray.
3) pull up on the entire ashtray/switch portion of the console. There will be some resistance when it pops out due to the flare nuts that the Torx screws screw into. This is normal. Just use a short, quick pull to free it. If you pull hard and slow, when it gives, you may pull it too far and pull some of the switch wire loose, so be careful. You've got about six inches of play in the wires.
4) disconnect the connector from the bulb socket. The bulb and socket are one piece, so there's no way to just pull the bulb.
Takes about 2 minutes.
Good luck!
