Step 2 · Remove the light fixture cover

Observe how the current light cover is attached. Most covers are secured by screws, a twist-lock mechanism, or retaining clips. Unscrew any visible screws, or gently twist the cover counter-clockwise if it's a twist-lock type. If there are clips, press them to release the cover. Support the cover with one hand as you detach it to prevent it from falling.
