connection instead of a screw socket like many other light bulbs. You can use a stepladder and screwdriver if you need them, but the must-have item for this project is a replacement bulb.
Things You Will Need
-
Remove the bulb assembly. Some are attached with screws, but most are held in with clips. Twist the assembly, or use a flathead screwdriver to pry it off.
-
Disconnect the wiring attached to the rear of the assembly. Pull the wiring away from the assembly to disconnect it.
-
Set the assembly on a table or another suitable work place.
-
Remove the bulb from the assembly. The bulb will slide out of the back with ease; however, some assemblies have panels protecting the bulb. Remove this panel first if necessary.
-
Install the new bulb. Attach it to the assembly securely. Replace any screws or panels on your particular bulb assembly.
-
Attach the bulb assembly back to the wiring. The two pins connect to the assembly with ease. Mount the bulb assembly back in position; replace any screws or panels you removed to access it.
