I'm getting ready to change out the incandescent rope light under the fascia in the master stateroom on my '99 4000.  I've run into two questions I'm hoping someone who's done this before might be able to help with:

1.  The switch for the light is on the port side, but the rope seems to get its power supply over on the starboard side.  Makes no sense, but I cannot find any power supple on the port side by the switch.
2.  How in the devil did you remove the old light?  It appears to be glued between two trim pieces, and I'd love to avoid disassembling the entire stateroom if possible.

Thanks guys.  Appreciate any help someone might be able to offer!
