Can someone tell me the secret to replacing the little lights that are over the stove, computer area and dinette slideout ? These are the small 12 volt ones with the brushed aluminum rings around them. Thanks OB

They're tough! You need to push up on the bezel, but not to hard and turn. In my experiance you twist and work and all of a sudden it comes off and you wonder why! I have also used a strap wrench on them, but you do need to be careful with that because you can break the little ears that hold the bezel on. The bulbs are 10 watt halogens and can be found at WalMart, Lowe's or HD for much less than RV part stores.

Dave is right, push up and turn counter clockwise. Double check the watt as if you use a higher watt bulb it will melt the fixture. Also do NOT use bare fingers on the new bulb as the body oils will shorten the bulb life.

I find mine in Lows, HD, in the outdoors lighting section.
