Default 70 GTO console shifter light

I would like to replace the console shifter light on my GTO automatic 1970.
I looked at the GTO Restoration Guide on pg 121. (1995 edition)

I don't see how to remove the shifter trim plate to get to the bulb. I have heard this shifter trim plate is retained by spring clips. Any guidance on how to get these apart so I can change the bulb.
Thank you.

It's held in place by spring clips and you just pull up on it.

Thanks, Awesome. I just needed to see how this plate was held down.
To get a little different angle you can see how these spring clips engage into the lower plate.
I ended up slipping a small screwdriver between the upper and lower plates (thru the long oval shift hole) to pop the trim plate up.
For those reading this in the future, it appears to be a GE 1891 bulb.
Thanks again.
