2014 Jayco Eagle HT 27.5bhs light bulb replacement issue

[jackofall]

Anybody know how to remove the round milky glass light covers on the two lights on the skylight in the 27.5bhs in order to replace the bulbs? Tried twisting and pulling and it doesn't want to seem to budge.

If you are talking about the recessed fixture with halogen bulb then they require a small twist counter-clockwise and pull down. I have a bunch of those in the 5th and while most came right off a couple required lots of effort to remove. I used a rubber jar lid gripper to help. Was still a bear tho.

Yea I'm talking about the two in this pic by the skylight. Tried twisting them. .. maybe just need to try harder lol.

just need to pull gently from each side. they will eventually come down. I usually break a fingernail underneath them getting them down! lol

Yeah, that look like 'em. Our 5th has beaucoup. There's 16 20W and 11 10W and maybe 3 were really tough to get loose.

Just twist and wiggle on pull like hell straight down. They are held in place by spring like metal tabs.

Thanks. One came off after I pulled like heck....the other resisted and finally a piece of the glass rim broke off at one of the tabs and it came off. Still works, but man those tabs are stiff....
