Before you begin, switch off the breaker that controls the power for the recessed light fixtures you’ll be working on.

Get a ladder so you can reach the recessed lighting in your ceiling.

Reach into the fixture and remove the light bulb from the light housing.

Pull down the trim and see how it is attached to the housing. If the trim is attached by v-shaped torsion springs, then you know the housing will work with LED retrofit lights. If you aren't sure, remove the trim entirely and look inside the housing to see if the brackets are on the inside.

Unscrew the old bulb from the recessed lighting housing.

Remove the old trim from the outer ring of the housing.

Squeeze the side spring clips to remove the light housing. You should see the light socket at the top of the well.

Adjust the rear plate in the housing by loosening the wing nut that allows the adjustment. Push the housing up, then retighten the nut. This creates breathing room for the LED light.

Open the LED recessed lighting conversion kit and check to make sure you have everything you need before you’re standing on the ladder.

Unpack the LED replacement recessed lights. Connect the bulb socket adapter included in the kit, if not pre-assembled.

Screw the lightbulb end of the LED into the empty lightbulb socket in the recessed light housing.

Squeeze the spring arms on each side of the LED unit together.

Slide the arms into the brackets inside the housing.

Push upward until the LED light unit clicks into place and the trim is flush with the ceiling.

If the light doesn't fit flush, try to adjust the rear panel on the housing upwards.

When the LED unit has been properly installed, turn the power on at the breaker.
