I have 4 down light spotlights in my bathroom and am having problems with loose wires into the small white thing that the spotlight plugs into. The spotlights are pins as opposed to lugs if you know what I mean. The problem I have is I can't see how to secure the two whites wires into the small white thing. Is there anything else available that I can use that is easier to wire into i.e. my eyes are not they used to be.

GU5.3 is that the right type for the pin connectors as opposed to the lugs as in newer LED spotlights?

How do I replace the lamp holders once replaced? That is how do I get the spotlight unit out of the ceiling if that is what is required?

The bezel in the ceiling is probably held up with spring clips so it should pull down with a bit of effort. The spring clips however can give a nasty hit on your fingers and try not to look upward below it when you pull it down as you can get all sorts in your eyes.
 
no worry about the tiles, is that ceiling cladded in wood? with them fire creating halogens covered in insulation.
