The lamp is located inside. Removal of the outer cover will reveal its location.

You can locate it by looking inside the cavity for an area that is perforated.
If this area is not a panel that can be removed, replacing it may (often) require removing a few sheet metal screws along the rear edge of the unit; rarely is the housing held on with more than that.
With the screws removed, lift up on the rear edge and pull toward the back.
DO NOT LEAVE IT PLUGGED IN!
Also, because there are components that may keep a charge (capacitors) for hours, I would recommend letting it sit unplugged overnight before removing the housing.
The bulb may be either a cylindrical type such as many sewing machines use or a smaller version of a standard bulb.
Neither of which anyone ever has at home, of course.
Any of the large 'home improvement' stores should have these 'made in China' bulbs at an inflated price.

If
there's no obvious removable cover over the bulb (most often on the
rear or side) and the owner's
manual doesn't address it, then disassembly will be required.
You'll need to remove the outer cover (wrapper) to get to the bulb.
Always unplug a
microwave before removing or installing any bulbs.
If
it's an over the range type, remove the vent grille across the top and
see if bulbs can be accessed there. There may be a panel on the bottom
covering the light(s), instead.
If not, chances are
you'll have to remove it from the wall, then remove the outer cover. If
so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have
two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.
If you don't have your
instructions, please reply back with your brand and model number.
Once it's out of the
wall, the outer cover (wrapper) will need to be removed, just as you'll
need to do on a counter top model.
On a
counter top model,
be sure it's unplugged, but otherwise ignore the instructions
above this paragraph.
You'll need to remove the outer cover (wrapper) to get to the bulb.

The
screws you need to remove should be pretty obvious, but a special
driver (such as a T20H type or GTXH20-100) may be needed.
Be sure to put all the
screws back in the right holes, since some may be special grounding
screws.
Bulbs can be had locally in most
grocery stores, hardware stores, home improvement centers, and big box
or department stores.
Many models use halogen
lamps. You must not touch the new one with your bare skin, as the oils
will shorten the bulb life.

Remove the top grill by removing two screws in the top. Pull the top of the grill out towards you as the bottom has pegs on it. About 6 inches from the left is metal cover that you just squeeze with your finger tips to remove. This exposes the bulb.

Hello
& Welcome to FixYa
To
replace the light bulb first remove the screws located on the vent grill at the
top of the microwave, tilt the grill back and then pull away to remove. After
this open the light cover , you have to remove the screws so that you can
discard the old light bulb and then replace it with a new one. Please get back
to me if you have any other questions.
