With great care not to touch it with your fingers! If you do touch the glass with your bare fingers you must clean off the oil using clean industrial alcohol - pink methylated spirits - and clean off the oil thoroughly with a clean dry cotton cloth before you install it, otherwise the bulb will fail in a few hours of use. Most people don't know this, even electricians - and their newly-installed halogen bulbs burn out within a few days, depending how often they are switched on and off. The reason is that the natural oils on your skin stay on the surface of the special glass used in these bulbs. The intense heat causes the oils to react with the glass chemically and the result is that the glass gradually gets eaten away. Some air eventually gets into the bulb and the filament burns out.

So when you install a new halogen bulb always take care to hold it with a clean piece of non-fluffy cotton - a clean cotton handkerchief is ideal. Never ever hold it with your bare fingers. <><><>

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

If you are referring to the small two inch lamps that usually are associated with track lighting, they just pull straight out. On the back of the lamp reflector assembly there are two small straight pins. When the lamp is pushed in it is held there by friction fit.
