You should not have to cut the can light out of the ceiling. Most are made to come out ( they had to get it in there right ). If for some reason you do have to surgically remove the light you can get another fixture to go back in its place at Lowes/Home Depot or a lighting supply house.
I would find out who manufactured the fixture and see if you can locate the removal instructions online, or maybe someone you know can help you out. It is not that big of a job at all. Please turn off the breaker before servicing.
If you can work on one of these cars you can fix this light!! Good luck

How many cans are on the circuit? Your not gonna like it but what I've found before is the problem in prob not in that can. It is a connection feedin that can. I hope I'm wrong cause it's a PITA to find. It would help to know how many cans, is this a 3way switch (travelers are REAL fun). Let me knw and maybe I can help. Jon
