All,
Seven lights of the pictured type on my O400 were previously converted to LED, but one does not work, Not sure why, but the immediate issue is that I can't seem to get the bezel off on that non-working light to troubleshoot. Is there a trick? For now I am gently prying, but don't want to munge the liner.
Secondarily, as a liveaboard, I am plotting to add a bunch of additional LED lights in areas like the galley. If anyone has experience in this area, like routing wires through the headliner, I am all ears :)

Postscript: Removing the bezels proved to be easy but I found that 2 lights were missing the frosted lens. Since these are not available, I decided to try a different replacement. Went on line and bought Hella EuroLED 75 lights with the spring retainers. Worked beautifully with no need to screw the light bodies into the oberhead. As these are brighter, I am tempted to replace all salon lights with these Hellas,

I got 2 in Seattle at Fisheries Supply and then 2 more from an Amazon seller "less-is-always-more", i pulled the connectors apart after unscrewing and prying out the originals. Then I just crimped spade connectors (see pic) on the Hellas and plugged them in. The Hellas are a sealed unit and the light distribution is much better than the originals with the 9-LED replacement bulbs.
