Awesome, thanks for the help, guys. So am I correct in assuming that I just need to pull up on the trim piece on all 4 corners to pop it up and gain access to the bulb?

Watch the first ~1min of this video (thanks to Wrathernaut)
It will get you close to changing the light bulb.

here's a diagram to show approximate location of bulb.

Here's a good question.
Did the horsepower actually change for '05 or did Infiniti just take advantage of the outdated SAE standard rating of horsepower? If it did change, is there dyno results to prove it? Also what did they do to increase the power?

The revup engine was introduced in 05

But isn't revup only available for the MT sedans and coupes in 05-06? So the non-revup 05-06 models had the same power as the 03-04 models?

There was no real horsepower change in the non-revup motors, it was only a correction of the horsepower rating on paper.

Yes, revup is only for 05+ 6MT models and yes, all non-revup motors between 03-06 are the same.

I think the only difference is that the 03-04 had mechanical fans and the 05-06 had electric fans.

The mechanical fans went away mid year 04, cars without mechanical fans have a different ecu which includes wideband O2 sensors. There is also a difference in the automatic transmissions, early cars will down shift in manual mode and later cars will stay in the selected gear. I'm sure there are subtle differences in the factory tune, imo they drive differently.

^ no, down shift, if you have the car in 3rd in manual mode and leave from a light it will shift from 1st to 2nd to 3rd and stay in 3rd to the rev limiter. When I had my car dyno'd, it down shifted at the start of every pull, it was in mm 4th gear, it never up shifted beyond 4th. I have hit the rev limiter in 1st thru 3rd and it will not up shift unless you move the shifter.

NM, I thought you previously said they will not downshift at all but I misread it.
