Lamp that has a base lamp on it and you need to wire in a top three way bulb?

The question isn't very clear, so if I'm not answering it correctly you might want to be more specific in your questioning. Make sure the lamp is not plugged into an electrical source before starting the directions below: It sounds like you have a lamp, maybe it has an existing socket or not? But the socket (where you screw the bulb into) is the part of the lamp that will determine if it is going to be three way or not. If you have an existing socket, remove it by loosening the set screw at the bottom, the it will probably be screwed to a shaft, so rotate the socket counter-clock-wise, as the base is separated from the socket, you can remove the wires from the socket by either cutting them or removing the bottom portion of the socket to gain access to the screws where the wire is fastened. Then simple attach the wires to the 3-way socket and reverse the steps above.

Why won't a three way lamp switch work on all three settings when used in a outlet controlled by a wall switch?

A three-way lamp switch requires a dedicated three-way bulb and socket to function on all three settings. If used in an outlet controlled by a wall switch, the voltage may not be appropriate for all settings to operate correctly. Additionally, the wiring configuration in the wall switch setup may not be compatible with the three-way lamp switch.


How do you change daytime running lights on a 2008 BMW 535I?

On either headlamp assembly you can change the bulb (standard H8 Haologen bulb; around $12 - $15) with no tools. Be sure the engine is off and they key is removed from the car. Open the hood. Behnind the headlamp assembly (directly behind the bullet lamp) there is a round, black cover about 3" in diameter. Unscrew the cover. Unclip the power cable that runs to the lamp socket and push it out of the way. Rotate the lamp socket about 1/8 turn (22.5 degrees) toward the engine. Pull the lamp socket straight out. Put a new H8 Haologen lamp bulb in by placing it about 1/8 turn toward the engine and seat it in the lamp housing. Turn it in the housing so that the lamp socket is straight up. Clip the cable that you removed back onto the lamp socket, and replace the cover.


Can you use multiple wattage bulbs on one fixture?

You can use a three way bulb in a one way socket. I believe the default wattage will be the middle one. E.g., a 30-70-100 watt three way will default to 70 watts in a one way lamp or socket.
