Before I just randomly pull this fixture out and screw something up can someone share how to easily remove and replace the small recessed light bulb. It’s in the head on my 3800 Open.

I'm not sure which fixture you are referencing as there are 2 styles in my 38 Open. One is relatively larger than the others which are under the cabinet in the head (smaller approx 2"). The smaller ones are held in by spring clamps. To remove pull down the ring but be carful as the springs holding the fixtures in will come out with the fixture and the spring will hit your fingers and that really hurts.... To just remove the bulbs the trim ring snaps off the fixture itself exposing the bulbs..... To remove the trim ring on the larger to expose the bulb you need to remove the 3 trim nuts...M2C
It’s the smaller one. I started to pull out the entire fixture as you said, it just didn’t seem very cooperative. Now I know why ref your comment on the springs hitting your hand. Thx for the info.
