Best Answer

Recessed Lighting Fixture Cans are manufactured to accept certain types of trim for the type of Recessed Rough in "Can". Check with the manufacturer of the recessed "can" to determine if the rough in "can" will accept the desired 3" light fixture.

If not, then the existing 6" Recessed Lighting Fixture "Cans" will need to be removed and replaced with the 3" can in order to accept the desired trim.

If the "cans" have been covered by the ceiling installed making them difficult to remove and replace the existing 6"cans and install the proper 3"cans, then you can purchase what is called old work or renovation Recessed Lighting Fixture cans and install them in place of the 6" cans. Some work to repair the ceiling would then be required.

Have a regular fixture with 3 60 watt bulbs now want to convert to a LED fixture with the same amount of light how many LED watts do I need to get the same effect?

I cannot tell you as this will vary from brand to brand of LED lightbulbs. Look on the package for the "equivalent wattage" rating and buy bulbs rated at 60W equivalent. You should not need to change the fixture, just put LED lightbulbs in the one you already have.

Do you have a picture of the tail light bulb removal for a 1987 Chevy Celebrity?

I don't have a picture or know where one is but I will try to explain the process to replace a tail light bulb in a 1987 Chevy Celebrity: 1. In the trunk near the quarter panel are 3 nuts. Remove the center nut, it will line up with the center of the tail light fixture. 2. Pull the tail light fixture out until the stud clears the body, then pull outward on the tail light fixture to free it from the back up light fixture. 3. The plastic bulb holders twist into place, twist back to remove them. You can then change the light bulb in the appropriate bulb holder. To install reverse the process.
