The owner's manual says:
Cavity light: The cavity light bulb is located behind the vent
grille at the top front of the microwave oven, under the bulb
cover, and is replaceable. Remove two screws on the vent
grille, tilt the grille forward, and lift it out. Open bulb cover and
replace bulb. Close bulb cover, replace vent grille, and secure
with screws.
Cooktop light: The cooktop light bulb is located on the
underside of the microwave oven, and is replaceable. Remove
bulb cover screw, and open the bulb cover. Replace bulb,
close bulb cover, and secure with screw.
To remove the grille, see my video at microwavecontrol.com.

They sometimes have a plastic cover over the bulb cavity that you can take off from the oven interior

The lamp on this model is an assembly - bulb and socket mated together.
It is mounted in an air duct on the right side of the oven near the magnetron.
You'll have to remove the outer cover to get to it.
You can find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order the bulb by
entering your full model number here.

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.

This is simple, and "FixYa" technical staff has clearly not looked at our model.
Take off the vent across the top (three long screws) to expose a single screw over the keypad.
Remove the single screw, and the whole keypad consile will lift up and off, likely hanging by a plastic tab/support on the bottom.
Now you can twist the light bulb plug to remove it from the support structure, change the bulb, and replace all that you've done.
Simple.
Hello - This may or may not be specifically for your model, however these are generics instructions that I found.
To replace the light bulb to the over the range microwave you will need to follow the steps below:
1. To replace light bulb, first disconnect power to the microwave oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging.
2. Remove the vent grill mounting screws.
3. Pull the vent grill away from the unit.
4. Remove the charcoal filter by pushing it inwards, then turn and pull it away from the unit.
5. Open light cover located behind filter mounting by carefully pulling up on the front edge.
6. Remove old light bulb and replace only with equivalent 30 watt bulb available from part distributor. Bulbs are also available at most hardware stores or lighting centers.
7. Replacing the microwave oven light cover by carefully pushing into place. Replace the charcoal filter. Push the vent grill back into place (engaging both the bottom and top tabs) and replace the vent grill mounting screws.
Note: DO NOT USE BULB LARGER THAN 30 WATTS.
