Probably a dumb question, but I have several ceiling lights (LED) that are out and I can't figure out how to get the frosted lens off to change the bulbs. Tried turning lens but they don't move and don't want to force it and run the risk of breaking them. πŸ™ Any suggestions much appreciated!

If they are like mine, the bulb is not replaceable. You have to replace the whole fixture. On mine, the white lens unscrews and reveals two or three small installation screws. Then the fixture has a spring loaded clip that holds it in. You pull straight down to the point it sounds and feels like you’re going to tear the ceiling material, but the fixture will pull out. I got my replacements at Camping World. There are better ones available.

The lenses unscrew. Some can be a bit tight. The fixtures are held with 3 screws and the spring clips. Watch your fingers!

LEDs became standard on the 15 and 16 models. In 14, I believe they were optional. It is likely you have the standard white frosted lens that twists. It's about a quarter turn or so. Try pushing firmly upward and turning. That can tend to loosen the cover. There are three tiny screws that hold the back plate in. They are in the 1/8" paneling. If you strip them out, rotate the back plate and reinsert screws in a new location.

It is possible that you have the one piece LEDs. In that case, they would just push up into the hole and the lights are held by spring tension.

Let us know what you find.
