[C320-list] Interior light fixtures-removal?

[Jon Vez]

Scott, do you have lens' on your fixtures? I also plan on replacing a few of
our often used bulbs with LED, hence my interest...

Jon:  On Hull 653 you really do just pull the bulb out.  I removed one
of mine for the first time last week and was very nervous.  So I removed
the two screws as you did, and also couldn't figure out any alternative
way to remove the bulb.  So I reattached the fixture, took a deep
breath, and then levered the bulb out by inserting a small flat bladed
screwdriver under two opposite edges.  It popped out without problems.

I'm interested in switching to LEDs for better battery life when we are
on the hook, and so have followed the recent thread about this with
interest.  If anyone else has advice on which LEDs work well, I am
interested.
