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.

The issue is "locate the lamp cover". I think that knowing to remove the cover and replace the bulb is beyond obvious, but where the heck is the lamp cover? Now that the oven lamp is out, it is not at all obvious where the lamp is/was and therefore not obvious where the cover is.
I think I may have found it on the opposite wall from the hinges, held in by one screw up from the bottom and several tabs / slots. I need to kill the power because it's full of wires and connectors.
