[HELP] I am at my wits end with two recessed lights in my basement and my fingers hurt. Anyone know how to remove these guys?

These are the only two recessed lights in my house that are this way, and my god I am cursing whoever decided to use them but also thanking them for not installing them everywhere else. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this thing down so I can replace it with an LED with clips. I tried turning it, two flatheads on either side pulling down, I popped the light socket through the top and now it's lost in the ceiling. Anyone have any ideas or a diagram or video to point to for this specific can? I don't see a single screw, clip, anything. submitted by /u/im-a-limo-driver [link] [comments]
