How to replace a light bulb

[timjet]

OK, this is not a joke, so if you clicked on the subject title expecting the joke of the day, sorry.('[^]');

My 355 ACMY salon flush mount light needs replacing and I can't figure out how to get to the bulb. I've worked with it some, but am afraid to work it to hard for fear of damaging it. So what's the secret to replacing the bulbs.
Thanks,
Tim

If they look like this I think they pry off. I bought a set of s for about $25 IIRC at Home depot

they actually should turn slightly counter clockwise to unlock them and then the bezel/cover should pull down exposing the bulb. The bulb is a bi-pin halogen of 10W

Thanks guys, will give it a try this weekend.

OK, the light in question is in the ceiling panel directly above the dinette. It is the flush mount type. I tried to twist the plastic mount
CCW but it would not budge. It's difficult to grab because very little protrudes below the ceiling. Do I just need to twist harder or is there another way??

Are you sure the light is burned out. I know of many people who didn't know there is a light switch for that light over the dinette only.

Pretty sure, as I saw it flash before it died.
