I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I have a 2013 shockwave toy hauler from forest river. I want to replace my bulbs with LED bulbs to reduce the power draw. But I can't get into the bulbs. I pull on the glass and the whole thing just comes down. It feels like it's spring loaded into the ceiling and I can't get the glass off to get to the bulb. I tried a screwdriver to pry it apart but can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?Moderator edit to re-size pictures to forum recommended limit of 640px maximum width.

Not familiar with it, but does the cover screw off?

Looks a lot like mine. That lens should just pull out. It is real tight. Held in with a flat spring type retainer.Mine are a G4 bulb. Something like these might work for you.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W1038SS/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=36HHYDB8CCEAG&coliid=IY3QGR26E8B3C&psc=1

Yeah I've pulled and I'm afraid of breaking it. It just comes out of the ceiling.
