Bathroom light burned out...need advice on bulb replacement, access, etc.
My bathroom light is burned out. I need to order some new bulbs. I think it’s an led light. Does the cover just pop off? Does anyone know what bulbs to order? It’s a 2013 Aspect. Thanks!

It looks very much like what I have. Try to squeeze with fingers on each side of the long part. Kind of the natural way to grab the lens? And gradually pressin to release catch on each side?
Then I "think" you will find a wedge bulb and perhaps a number on the fixture to match the bulb. If original, I might guess the older bulb but I wanted the brighter light and changed to LED. If not using LED in other places, I find getting juts the right one takes a bit of testing to get the Color as well as the amount we each like.
Once open, you may find it easy enough to pull the bulb out of another fixture if you have what you want in the other place.
Note on LED is that they may not work the first way you put it in so turn it over as they are polarity sensitive. On the wedge bulb, it a 50-50 to get it right the first try so I almost always have to change it!

Unfortunately, though I can’t imagine that this is true, it seems glued in there...:/

Did you mean the clear part, or the housing on the side?

If it is what I think, the clear part is a pretty flexible plastic and has like four tabs which fit in slots, so doing a somewhat gentle squeeze on each side is all I need to get mine off. Gentle because it does seem like it could break and I would not want to pry.
Possible it is something else or also possible somebody did glue it in!
Let me snag a picture of mine?

Got some pic and found the cover is stuck really tight today and on a light that was opened less than three months ago. Is your RV hot at the time you are trying? Seems my cover may be somewhat "swollen/ expanded"??
But this is my light , cover showing the tabs and the bulbs I added. There is also a label inside but my label it impossible to read and likely gives the old bulb number. Tabs are in about two inches from each end?
If hot, maybe try to cool it with a wet cloth? Be gentle though.
