Hi,

Is this the light under the mirror with a white lens covering it? If it is, that lens should pry off to access the bulb. Take a straight screwdriver, cover the end with a cloth to prevent damage to the parts, and gently pry. It should come off. If it doesn't seem to move, stop and let me know.

Let me know.

Take care,

joe

Should the whole assembly come off or just the lens?

You should be able to access the bulb with the lens off. Is that the case? If not, take a couple of pics of what you are seeing and upload them for me to see. Hopefully, I will recognize it.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

There should be a small tab that holds it in place. I'm sorry to hear you had to glue it, but I'm glad it's working.

Take care of yourself and feel free to come back anytime in the future.
