Yes, Bobby, it can be done. Before you begin, though, go to Home Depot and look in the tool department. There, ask for a "Husky Pro #66604". It's a 1/4" and 5/16" drive 90 degree ratchet that's about 4 inches long. While you're there, pick up a #2 1/4" drive phillips screwdriver bit. You'll use both of these to do the light. Both for about $12. UNPLUG YOUR MICROWAVE! Stand on a small ladder in front of the Microwave (MW), remove the 2 screws that hold the vent louver in place and remove the louver. You'll now see a black plastic grill (just above the door handle)remove the 2 screws with your new tools and remove the grill and the metal box that covers the relay. Now remove the 2 screws holding the horizontal metal panel that the box was sitting on. Now gently lift that panel up, (don't try to remove it) and you'll see the lamp. It's the one with 2 white wires going to it and a shiny metal cover over it. Place your index finger on the back of the cover of the lamp and gently pull toward you and lift at the same time. This will release the catch and allow you to pull it all the way out to get to the lamp. There ya go! Simple!

Manufacturers used to include access panels in the rear or side so you could easily change the bulb. That exposed the customer to line level (mains) voltage, and that posed a real liability threat, so they stopped using them.
You now must generally remove the outer cover to replace the bulb.
In many over-the-range models, that can mean having to take the oven down from the wall! For safety's sake, that should be a two-person job and it's really helpful if you have your original installation instructions to do this.
Many models use one halogen lamp to illuminate the cooktop and another to illuminate the cavity. You must not touch them with your bare skin as the oils will shorten the bulb life.
You should be able to find replacements lamps by taking the old one to a local home improvemeant center or department store or an applaince parts store.

It's pretty simple to replace the light without having to remove the oven from the wall...as long as you have an offset phillips
screwdriver...
Of course, be sure to disconnect power to microwave and be sure not
to touch the new halogen bulb with fingers.
STEP-BY-STEP:
First, remove upper vent panel and remove inner filter (same directions
for just replacing inner carbon filter):
Then, remove inner plastic grille (2 screws) and final screw on left
side of metal "air duct" - here's where you'll need the offset screw
driver (and a little patience!):
Then, you can gently lift the sheet metal panel, find the light
housing, squeeze and remove/replace :)
That's it...just replace bulb and reverse for reassembly. Be
sure to keep track of screw locations there are various sizes/lengths
used.

Have work on these model, but narmaly they should be easy, to help, unplug it and open the cover to see if you can figure it out better, narmaly it's a clip on stage plastic that hold it in place, The bult could have purchse I think true gooles, with there part # back track it to see if a local shop would have it. $30 was very high.
I hope this help

Replacement of the
lamp should be carried out by a qualified appliance repair service.
YOUR
SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT!
Attempt
this only if you are competent.
But here is a basic method if you are
mechanically minded and have electrical safety knowledge.
The lamp is sat in a housing and its
position is adjacent to the vent holes that it shines through.
If
you feel confident, disconnect it from the mains power, remove
anything in the cavity.
Remove the microwave cover. Purchasing a
new replacement lamp will be useful as it will give you an idea of
what it looks like. Locate the dead lamp remove the lamp and fit the
new one. Replace the covers. Plug it back in and try the lamp by
opening the door.
Hope this helps.
