Remove Old Light Bulbs

What happens in this clip

With the light cover removed, you will see the old light bulbs. The presenter identifies these as older CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) bulbs with a GU24 base. These bulbs typically have two pins at their base. To remove each bulb, firmly grasp it and twist it counter-clockwise. The bulb should easily detach from the socket once the pins align with the release slots.
