A light coating of silicone lubricant, available as a spray, on the bulb threads, will lubricate the bulb and socket, and be electrically safe, and will make future removal much easier. Only a LIGHT coating, or short spurt of silicone, wiped over the bulb base, should be used.

Can I have 120 volts at the light fixture but the light won't turn on I have checked the wiring and changed the light?
If you have 120 v at the wires connecting to the light fixture the light should come on. Its possible the voltage is not getting to the inside of the socket. Carefully measure the voltage between the metal blip at the bottom of the socket and the metal along the sides. Be careful here. Its tight quarters and easy for the voltmeter leads to touch the wrong things. Before doing that I would try a third light bulb. I've gotten them bad right out of the package. If you have voltage inside the socket, then for some reason the light bulb is not screwing far enough down so the bottom touches that metal blip on the bottom of the socket. If you don't have voltage inside the socket then that's your problem and you'll need a new socket.
