The car in question is a 97 corolla with automatic transmission. The
light bulb inside the gear selector has burnt out. How do I change it ?

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Remove the console and then remove the bezel from the shift lever. You may
not have to do this if you can see the bulb plug without removal of the
bezel.

This is just a guess on my part, but you probably have to remove the console
cover. If you have a storage box under an armrest, look for screws in the
storage box, behind the ashtray in the back, and the front of the console.
