Mini Lite 2017 2502KS

Need help with replacing bulbs in the small lights over the couch. How do you get the
bulb(s) out? What do you buy to replace?

We just had one go (dim) in our 8328BS, I removed it from the cabinet, took it to my dealer. They indicated that the bulb cannot be changed so they did a no charge warranty replacement.

That appears to be the same light I have above my bed.
If so, push in and rotate counter clockwise to remove. Uses 12v “elevator bulb”.

At least some of them are replaceable with a quarter turn bayonet base.

Yep we tried that. No way to get the bulb out. Had it in the shop for annual check and they tried too. We ordered new ones and replaced them. No worries now! Thanks for sharing!!

I have the same light with an led bulb and mine cannot be swapped. Mine goes dim then comes back from time to time. $11 for a new fixture.

Dimming was our experience too. Stopped using it for fear of it being “on” but no light, felt warm. Concerned about possible fire.

I managed to get mine out but as I live in Australia I am struggling to buy the replacement bulbs. Can you suggest somewhere in USA I can get them from? Thanks.

I have not needed to replace mine. I did a quick search on Amazon and think I saw them.
