How do you replace a halogen light bulb on a 2000 Mercury Cougar?
Open up the hood, and go in behind the fixture where the light is located. Sometimes there is an access panel on top. Open it and reach down inside and grab the bulb's socket. Twist the socket a quarter turn counter clockwise, and pull out the socket. Grab the bulb, and pull it straight out. To replace the new bulb, never touch it with your bare fingers, as this will greatly shorten the bulb's life, if it even work's at all. Use a tissue or something else in that order to handle the new bulb. Push the new bulb into the socket, put the socket back into the housing, and twist a quarter turn clockwise to secure the socket into the fixture

The license plate and right side brake light bulbs for a 1999 Mercury Sable do not work is that a bad fuse?
The 1999 Mercury Sable license plate light and the right side brake light are on the same fuse. If the fuse was bad neither brake light would work. The problem probably is burnt out lightbulbs.

Check for a loose bulb Check for a corroded or bad light socket
On a 99 Chevy Malibu the brake light on the driver's side will not work it is not the fuse or the bulb what else could it be?
Look at the socket itself. Wires could be burnt or even inside socket corroded or burnt. The light bulb socket assembly cost around $40. It is best to change it. Pretty much self explanatory. You can wiggle the bulb and sometimes it woill work for awhile but it is a pain to keep messing with it so I suggest replacement
Your right turn signal and brake light do not work and the front right turn signal blinks very very fast you have replaced both bulbs What could the problem be?
Bad bulb socket? Broken Wire to socket?
Why does a fluorscent light not work in the cold?
fluorescent bulbs have mercury in them. There are heaters at the ends of the bulb that vaporizes the mercury to allow the light to be produced ( the fluorescence on the inside of the bulb is what actually glows). If the bulb is cold you do not get the ionization of the mercury to cause the fluorescent powder inside the bulb to glow, or it just glows a small amount.
