Believe it needs ignition/ & lights to be on.

It pushes upwards from inside the glovebox and then dangles behind on top of it. You then need to remove the plastic cover on the left hand side of the dashboard, usually hidden by the door. Put your hand through the tiny gap, pull the wire and bulb towards you as near as you can and if you are k
lucky and dextrous enough you may remove and refit the bulb.

Otherwise you need to do some awkward parts removal from within the glovebox to reach it, but firstly check what GEL has said, make sure the ignition and the lights are on first, to actually ensure the bulb has blown. I wasted a lot of time in my early QQ days believing my bulb had blown when it had not.

If it's never worked, & is under Guarantee, dealer should sort.
