What's the trick to removing the old, burnt-out socket?

I took a small flathead screwdriver and carefully pried the socket from the wiring clip. It popped right out, and the new one pushed on easily. You can see how it matches up. Just be careful to do it gently so you don't break it off. Mine was a perfect fit, so you shouldn't have any problem.

It was easy. just take the bulb out then there are 2 plastic clips holding the socket to the wiring. Unplut the old socket, plug the new one in, replace the bulb.

there is usually a small plastic tab on the wire coming from the car that locks into the new socket. you have to gently pry it back with a screw driver. also it you live in the north and it is cold out be very gentle. they can break off rather easily. also you should use a small amount of dy-electric grease between the bulb and the socket to prevent an electrical arc. which is likely why it burned out in the first place.

There is no trick. Just remove the clip from the wiring and unplug and plug in the new one.I was able to do it with my fingers only. You could use a flat had to assist with the clip

I did it the same way the others did. I just used my fingers. It was pretty easy to remove.

You must remove old one and slide new one over socket, you may have to trim sockets down to size hence why they are so inexpensiveDane HarmonDCH Electric & Lighting

Pull out the old, put in the new. Just have to be careful with the pin alignment.

I think it took a 10mm socket to remove the old one and a 13mm socket to install the new one.

To replace a bulb lift the long black tube off the base, you may have to twist it slightly to remove. The socket for the bulb is part of the base and will be visible after you remove the tube and reflector, the socket is not a removable/replaceable piece. If the socket is bad you have to replace the whole assembly.

I don't know how its going to work out, do you have parts to convert it? It might be too big for socket.

Use a soldering iron to heat it up and remove. I have used this technique several times. Be careful not to burn anything in the process ;)

This is actually pretty easy, but also not obvious (at least to me).Step 1: Using needle nose pliers, reach down into opening of the socket and remove the rubber stopper inside (it's not attached to the plastic plug). This exposes the plastic plug.Step 2. Take a long thin screw driver and put it down flush against the plug where you just removed the stopper.Step 3. Hit the screw driver a few times with a mallet. It should pop right out. You're done.

they screw in to the old light bulb socket. Unscrew the old light, pull the trim kit off, screw the pigtail into existing light bulb socket and push the can up into the housing.... next

You replace the bulb by first unplugging the lamp to make sure there is no power to the power unit. Then turn the bulb holder handle counter clockwise a small amount until the bulb holder unlocks from the power unit and the bulb holder can be pulled from the power unit. Then, using caution as to not break the old bulb, (I used leather gloves and a clean cloth - to protect the hands and not leave oils on the bulb) pull the old bulb straight out from the holder. Note that the ceramic end of the lamp has grooves on one side that will allow the new bulb to only fit in the holder only one way. Place the new bulb in the holder with the grooves in correct position and push in on the bulb until seated. Again, handle with care and do not use excessive pressure. Carefully slide the new bulb and holder assembly back into the power unit and twist clockwise until it locks in place. Plug the unit back in and you

You need to ensure there is no electricity going to the circuit before using the removal tool - it could cause a short, spark and cause damage to the socket.

The sockets are hard to get on, especially when new. Try pressing the socket on a hard floor or tapping it on with a mallet.

Unplug it from the base. Unscrew the tip retainer and remove it and any tip you might have on it. Holding the handle, unscrew the black plastic ring that has the metal tip retaining threads embedded in it. Once that's off you gently push the cable through the handle exposing all of the solder connections. Now comes the tricky part, you need a functional soldering iron to desolder the old and resolder the new element boards.look it up online ....how to replace heating element in a 9378 solder station.....hope this helps.

Make sure lamp is unplugged. Lower to its most flat position. Use a thin non-metal object, such as a credit card, to slip between the lens and the lamp housing. (midpoint) Gently apply upward pressure to remove the lens away from the housing. To replace bulb, remove it by pushing the bulb away from the socket. Install by aligning the bulb pins with the socket receptacles then push the bulb into the socket. A click should be heard when connected. Lay the lens back onto the housing being careful to keep the rounded edges to the outside of the lamp. Align the inside tabs with the slots in the housing, rotate the lens down and snap into place by pressing along the outer edge. Good Luck! Make sure lamp is unplugged.
