I've bought a 2004 Eriba Style model 586 (the one with the U-shaped rear lounge) and I'm considering upgrading the 8 tungsten spotlights to LEDs. Firstly, please can anyone tell me the secret of how to remove the front bezel to give access to the bulb, and secondly, do you have any preferences or recommendations as to specific replacement bulbs/suppliers? I've tried twisting the outer chrome bezel, to avail - it feels as though there's a couple of spring retainers holding the whole unit place, but I'm afraid of doing something expensive in my ignorance ! Many thanks in anticipation.

You could try rotating just the glass itself by a quarter turn as they are sometimes retained on a simple bayonet fitting.

Thank you for your replies. Encouraged by the availability of expert backup, I've just taken the bull by the horns and tugged the whole fitment down from its grey plastic mounting. This has revealed the fitment to be held in place by 2 opposed spring-clips. The front is simply a round piece of frosted glass, and you prise off the bezel to allow this to be lifted off, thus revealing a removable silvered plastic reflector, and this bulb: It's marked "LER 10W" and the reflector is stamped "G4 / 0.2m"
Any ideas for an LED replacement please?

Some thing like this

or this
https://www.ultraleds.co.uk/g4-warm-whit...15w-output.html
I used the cool white as they give a slightly brighter light
these might fit and give a brighter light still

Thanks for your help and advice; I'm sure I'll have more questions as time goes on, but hopefully in time perhaps I'll be in a position to help someone else! That's what this forum (and life itself itself, I guess) is all about
