    Looked at a lot of videos but they mainly showed installing. Your video was exactly what I wanted to know, the connection on the back was different but if you have any brains it is easy to work out.
    The main thing I wanter to know was how to get access.

    Damn. I watched this and then went out to get some new lights with brightness and temperature control and while those are the same, the current ones aren't this kind with the normal socket in the ceiling. Oh well, I returned the lights I bought but that was annoying. Our house was built in 2016 so I assumed we would have this style.
    Still, the video helped me remove it and see the back of it. Until now, I assumed you had to twist.

    Thank you! Finally I could find replacing a led wafer light rather than replacing can to led. Anyways I have a brand new wafer light installed professionally but I didn’t know there were wafer leds with a night light built in so I’d love to replace my new led wafer with a new one that has a night light for my bathroom because it’s too damn dark at night and even during the day so it’d be great to have a constant night light to rely on. Mine doesn’t have a plug in, it’s hardwired but I think I can manage for the most part on my own. Do I need to replace the little electrical box of the older one with a box of the newer night light version or can I just clip it into the older box?
