Our Crescendo also has a lighted grab bar, which needed two broken screws replaced. In order to do so we had to remove the entire unit. If yours is constructed like our handle, the source electric is in the upper bracket. By removing the screws from both brackets, and applying some force, the brackets can be separated from the "fiber optic" bar. The "bulb" is in the upper bracket. New screws are advised. New sealant behind the brackets will be required. Time consuming, but not high tech. We had some screws breakoff, requiring additional work. Also be careful when replacing the upper bracket screws, so as not to disturb the wiring
