  • Bugs in Ceiling Lights

    2018 290BH
    Interior ceiling lights throughout trailer have bugs inside them.
    How do I get the lights out of the ceiling to access them?

    A picture of the lights will help us help you.

    If they are the flush style there are springs that hold the light in to the hole in the ceiling. Gently pull down on the light and watch for the springs, they are kinda strong so watch you fingers and the ceiling panel so there is no damage.

      Once you figure out how to remove them, don't be surprised if it's not bugs. Mine had what I thought were bugs and it was actually saw dust pieces from the factory roof construction process that worked their way into the lights.

        Be careful when removing the lights. The spring fingers that hold the light into the hole in the ceiling is like an old fashioned mouse trap. https://youtu.be/Z_yXW6mbPEE?t=33

        my not be the exact type of light, but the securement mechanism is more of the item to be cautious of: https://www.amazon.com/Recessed-Moto...%2C119&sr=8-23

          I figured it out, Pulling the light down against the spring tension, I was able to grab the body of the light and unscrew the lens. Two lights were bugs the rest were construction debris. And these are the flush to ceiling lights. I also added dimmers to most of the rooms with them. Thanks for the input.
