Step 1
Turn off the shower light at the light switch.
Step 2
Place a rug with a rubber backing in the shower stall for secure footing. Place the step stool on top of the rug.
Step 3
Insert a plastic putty knife between the outside rim of the light fixture and the ceiling. Be careful not to scrape the finish off the ceiling when inserting the blade.
Step 4
Pry the fixture cover away from the ceiling with the putty knife. The fixture cover includes a translucent plastic lens within a metal rim. The cover is held in place by torsion springs, so it will be resistant to release. Apply careful pressure until the cover pops off.
Step 5
Remove the old light bulb, and replace it with a similar bulb.
Step 6
Press the cover back in place. The torsion springs will click into place when you press the cover into the ceiling.

I tried turning my light fixture counter clockwise but that didn't work. I tried the screw driver technique as well, but that didn't work either. However, I applied pulled down the whole fixture with steady, even pressue on both sides and that did the trick. The fixture comes down a few inches while sliding on two wire guides on either side.
