I tried to pry with a prying tool and it feel solidly in place. Tried to twist and it didn't turn either. Need to replace this ceiling LED light. Thanks.

Got it off, turned out the inside lens pops off, then it's four screws to get the whole thing off, it's only screwed directly onto the ceiling, no box/hole or anything. Pretty cheap construction.


Glad you got it off and that's standard practice for 12 volt lights.
Check your marker/clearance lights

Pull straight down on both sides of the trim ring.

If they are like mine they are held in place by a spring that is about rat trap strong.

I tried with a prying tool to pull down and it budged a little but otherwise didn't come loose. I didn't want to break something.

I don't have that type, but have you tried to twist that outer ring, maybe it screws off/on, try counter clockwise.
