Replacing bulb above bed

[RickieT]

One of the reading lights is out in the stateroom directly above the bed. I can't seem to figure out how to get at the bulb to replace? It's a round looking ball and can't pry it open. Anyone have this problem?

Thanks!

Can you tell us what boat and year?

if its a round puck type light, the cover just snaps off.

is it like this one?

i know the frosted lens pops straight out but i've not needed to replace a bub yet

[RickieT]

Yes that's the light! I was able to pop the lense off but I can't pull the bulb out. Can't tell if it's a twist or just pull out the bulb. Little bugger is not coming out!

I have a 1997 350 Mariner

Try pushing in and twisting counter clockwise.

A hammer should do it...
Really...I have the same but I cant remember how it came out. I believe if you twist the outside cover in a direction it should come off. but do it gently...in case I'm wrong.
