- When the light starts moving enough, spin the light counterclockwise with the glove until it comes off.
- Put the lid on a soft safe surface.
- Get the rag or cloth wet in order to wipe down the lid.
- Clean the lid inside and out.
- Turn the light on without the cover to determine which bulb is blown out.
- You can also check if the light looks black near the connection as a symbol it is going bad.
- Turn off the power from the circuit breaker and turn off any light switches that provide power to the item you’re working on.

- Plug the new replacement light into the plug in the light fixture.
- In my case the bulb was a 120v 13w 4100k. This can very depending on model of light unit.

- Turn on the light and make sure both lights turn on. If it doesn't turn on try pushing in the light more—it's a common error when installing.
- Spin the lid clockwise with your gloved hand until you can't turn it anymore.
- Hit the lid clockwise with the heel of the shoe to tighten up the lid and avoid any accidents and loose ends.
- Using the wet rag or cloth, again clean up the light to remove any shoe marks you might have caused in the process.
- Turn on light and watch your hard work glow!
