I imagine the bulb is actually a standard auto 12V bulb driven by the onboard DC-DC converter. If so you should be able to simply remove the cover, pull out the bulb and replace it.

That particular question I can’t answer. If the whole bracket comes off, it may be that the screws holding the cover are accessible from the rear of the bracket when it’s off the vehicle.
