You should call the factory and ask - that looks like an added on light at the customer's request.

I'll be interested in the answer, too, since that is the same light we have in our (private) bath over the toilet.  It flickered, went out, and came back on again a couple of times last month... but has stayed on ever since.

Interesting to find that it's a "add-on" rather than standard on our U295 2003 3610.

I have the same light and it appears to be standard and not an add on.
The clear lens is removed by inserting a thin metal blade in the right or left side and bowing it down as in this photo.
Then insert a thin screwdriver or such in the front of the lens & push inward.
It is so tight that you need to do the first step to bow the center so the front will push inward to pop out.
Something like your porch light but not as much give.

Barry, you're a gem!  Thanks so much for the annotated photo and accompanying explanation... will tuck it away, and be ready for the next time the light flickers and doesn't come back on.  Thanks again!!

Thanks Barry... Just looking at the light, your explanation does not seem to be the intuitive answer, but a very plausible one. I'm glad that I asked. My initial thought was that the whole frame might just pop off.  Of course that would have been wrong and a bit costly.  :'(

Thanks again!
