The light went out in the console of my wife’s Mazda 3. Anyone know how to get into the console to change the bulb?

I’ve never look at one. But the first approach is to eyeball it - some combination of screws, plastic push-pin type of retainers and likely some hidden clips that you’ll find out about once you loosen everything else.

A basic $20 repair manual from an auto parts store will likely give you the run down & sequence. Once you have it you’ll get a lot more use out of it. You might also try Autozone’s free online repair info.
