I have the dinette out and am doing new flooring and wall covering.
The little light that shines on the entrance way does not work. I tested
it on a battery. Does this come apart so I can replace the bulb?
If so, is there a trick to it?
Thank you one and all.

After poking and prodding I have it apart.
Easier than I thought.

IF YOU HAVE A ROYALE, with a bar next to the entrance door, then this
applies to you. There should be two rocker switches next to the door. One
controls the porch light, the other controls that small light along with
two more similar lights located in the toe kick under the kitchen counter.
Start with the rocker switches and test for 12 volts d.c. if no voltage, go
to the fuses behind the glove box and check there. If no voltage at the
fuses, find out why.
If you don't have a Royale, the info above won't apply.

On my Royale - the light is a friction fit that will pull out of the wall. Once it’s out - the bulb is replaced from the back of the fitting.

Bulb doesn’t come out, get a replacement at any auto parts store.

I took it apart and replaced the #57 bulb.
All is well.
Thank you one and all.
