Replace bulb on Hella interior light

[winsbury]

I cant believe I'm asking this but it feels like I'm about to break something: how do you take the cover off these fairly popular circular Hella interior lights that rotate to turn on/off ? http://infopart.org/images/a1/d/hella-2ja003232001.jpg

Is it the type which you have to push the clear lens a small distance against spring loading into the body? This allows the lens to rotate further than normal to become released.

possibly .... I can't see any latch or screws so that might just be how it works, will give it a go, thanks.

Yep, push up harder and carry on turning... Work of the devil! While you're in there, replace the bulb with a warm white LED...

Lol, yep, that's exactly what I was trying to do, I feel like a right 'nana for not thinking of that. Easy when you know how.
