    I've looked at other posts on how to remove or change lights. I tried with a plastic tool to pry but am reluctant to pry to hard - don't want to break parts. White scratch mark is from me using a plastic pry bar. Tips? and replacement bulb that doesn't require additional engineering to make it work. Thanks for your info...upload_2025-1-18_13-13-30.jpg

    Keep it in the off position and give it a good tug down. The lens will pop loose. Leverage against the on/off/door switch here.

    The Sylvania LED is too big, wouldn't fit. Almost - but not quite.
    The " " LongLife 3175 plugs in - no problem. All good. Thanks for the assist!!
