Quick help with SES light

Ok guys, the SES light on my car went out the other day and i have no idea how to replace it. I know that i could take out the whole cluster and replace that one light but is there any other way to access it? i opened up that panel in teh footwell underneath the dash and i can see the back of the dash but i don't kno how to get the bulb out. i need quick help so that i can run down to sears and buy another bulb. thanks guys

If you can see the holder to the bulb, just twist it & pull it out. You can also take the trim off & the clear part of the cluster & use a pair of needle nose pliars wrapped with a little duct tape to pull it out.

i can't see the socket to the bulb, all i see behind the light is a little tab and above it is a harness where a bunch of wires are running into. but for some odd reason i can't find the socket. i'll try to take off teh cluster adn try the needle nose plier thing tomorrow. thanks for the tip
