Remove the previously detached plastic from the ceiling light. Unscrew the screws on the plastic (if present) using a screwdriver, replace the damaged bulbs/LEDs with new ones (same size and voltage). Reinstall the plastic in its housing with the screws and grille. Test the light's proper functioning before reassembling the piece.
