So I have 2 lights on the Arch of my Vista and they have the flush mount white cover. The shite covers twist and I am concerned if I try to pry the while covers open I will break them
I want to replace the current G4 light bulbs with G4 Holagen bulbs.
Called Four Winns parts store and they recommend trying to pop out the lights as he recalls that is how they come out

Any suggestions on how to remove these lights?

Thanks
Richard

I have the exact same lights on my Vista arch, and want to do the same thing as you but have the very same concern. Sure hope somebody knows the removal technique!

I have replaced all the lights on my 278 with LED. In most cases, rather than swap bulbs, I prefer to pry out the old fitting and install a complete LED fitting. A sealed LED unit is much better than having a LED bulb in an old fitting - you start again with a new trim ring too.

I just did this on my Vista, the covers just pop off - that said I broke one in the cabin doing this so do be careful as age seems to have made the plastic brittle. Use a thin tool like a putty knife or exacto blade and slowly pop the edges all the way around. Push gently from opposite side with your hand to help release the little catches.
