One way to loosen a light bulb that is stuck in the fixture is to break the bulb. You can then use half of a potato to unscrew the bulb from the fixture. You can also make a loop with Duct Tape, adhere the middle of the loop to the light bulb. Use the two ends to twist the bulb out of the fixture.
A fixture is what the light bulb goes into.
It just holds the bulb, does not have a switch in the fixture.
To my knowledge is a light bulb fixture
it will burn
Very easy to do. Remove the two cap screws from the lens fixture (uses a 6mm socket, I believe). Very carefully use a flat tip screwdriver to gently pry the fixture from the underneath side of the trunk lid, and it should hang down with the light fixture attached to it. The fixture is made of a rubber-like plastic, so gently working it side to side will free it from the lens fixture. Remove the bulb from the light fixture by pulling it straight out (looks like an ancient camera bulb). You could use a 161 or 168 light bulb, but I used a 194 bulb (costs a little over $2.00 at O'Reillys) to reinstall into the light fixture. Going in reverse method, place the light fixture into lens fixture, and reassemble the lens fixture back to the trunk lid. Piece of cake!
Hi, I just changed the whole fixture for the third light. There are two caps on each side of the fixture. With flat screw driver, take off the caps and take out the screws. The light fixture will come out and twist the socket of the light bulb. Now you can able to change the light bulb. I hope this will help you all.
Is this the side marker or is it in the bumper, to replace the light in the bumper, you need a Philips screw driver, and on the inside side of the light, there is a little hole in the bumper, stick it in and loosen the screw. After that the lens should come right out and you just need to twist the fixture and the bulb will come out the back. after that the bulb can be pulled out of the connector and tah dah...

Yes, you can easily use it. Just install it as you would any other 120 volt light fixture and change the bulb from a 240 volt bulb to a 120 volt bulb. It will work just fine.
The fixture construction has nothing to do with the amount of energy that the fixture uses. It is the lamp in the fixture that draws the amperage. This amperage times the fixtures voltage is what gives you the fixtures wattage. W = A x V. Watts = Amps x Volts.
the fixture expands from the heat generated by the bulb. so it contracts as it cools
It depends on which bulb is burnt out. If it is the front bulb in the bumper you can reach up behind the bumper and unplug the socket and replace the bulb. You may need to loosen the valance to reach up to the bulb. If it is the bulb in the front side marker just take out the screws and remove the fixture, the socket can then be removed to change that bulb. If it is a rear bulb in a sedan or coupe: 1. Inside the trunk near the quarter panel on the side the bulb is burned out on there are three nuts. Remove the middle nut, it should be in the middle of the tail light fixture. 2 Pull the stud out of the body then pull gently away from the center to remove a tab from the backup light fixture. The fixture should now be loose. 3. Remove the appropriate socket and replace the bulb. Reverse the procedure to reinstall the tail light fixture. If it is a station wagon the lens is held on with screws. Take the screws out and remove the lens. Then replace the proper bulb and put the lens back in place. I
The fixture manufacturer goes on the side of safety. A 75 watt bulb puts out both more light and heat than a 60 watt bulb. It can make the fixture burn out sooner. For even more light, why don't you go with a florescent and get a 27 watt bulb that gives off the same amount of light as a 100 watt bulb? That will give off far less heat and be far better for your fixture?
