How to change a light bulb?

I have a 2011 Sightseer with reading lights under the cabinet, over the couch and lounge chair. (Small aluminum lights, fixture is screwed into the underside of the cabinet. Focus is adjustable on a ball joint type of arrangement. Switch is on each light.) A bulb has gone out.

It is not apparent to me how to get at the bulb to remove the old one and put in a new one. DUH!! Looks like I need to unscrew the entire fixture. That doesn't seem logical.

Help, please.

Long timer RVer who has never had this problem....

SF Bob.

If they are like my 2010 Suncrusier, they push in and turn 90 deg and then pull out. Just like an automotive bulb.

That is for the bulb.. However if it is the type of fixture I think it is the lens part rotates a bit then comes out when the tabs line up with the notches in the ring it mounts into.

I wish I could be more specific.

IF that is a common bayonet base, Consider an LED replacement.. Get the right kind an the lamp should outlast you,, or your grand kids.

Assuming it is "Super Bright" is the one I'd look for.. I had the 1157 version of this same lamp in a similar fixture in my house.

Bingo...got it. I thought there was a lens with a bulb behind it. But when I pushed in and rotated the "lens" the entire bulb popped right out. Many thanks.
