Whatever you do don't put aluminum foil around the end of the light bulb as it burns and that is not safe at all.
The bulb can be fitted with aluminum reflector to focus the light
Yes. A typical light bulb socket is an open circuit when the bulb is removed, thus blocking the flow of current and turning off the remaining bulb. The removed bulb would go out too, of course. It is possible to imagine a bulb socket that reverts to a closed circuit when the bulb is removed. In that case, the remaining bulb would remain lit.
No, that would not be proper. The contact point of a light bulb socket has no need of any coating. A light bulb socket that is difficult to turn a bulb in will benefit from some light oil on the bulb threads prior to installing. Dielectric grease will harden, and is meant to insulate and protect electrical junctions from exposure and vibration.
If a bulb breaks in the socket, first turn off the power to the socket. Use gloves and pliers to carefully remove any remaining pieces of the bulb. Then, replace the bulb with a new one and make sure the socket is clean before turning the power back on.
No. I am assuming that you first replaced the bulb? If you did replace the bulb, then I would check to see if you are getting power to the bulb socket. If no power is getting to the socket, you then need to find the break in the electric lines going to the socket.
It is called a socket or base. This keeps the bulb securely in place and allows electricity to flow directly to the bulb.
It is not recommended to use a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket as it can cause the bulb to burn out faster or even lead to safety hazards. It is important to match the voltage rating of the bulb with the socket for optimal performance and safety.
Remove the trim from around the shifter. You should see the light bulb socket. Remove the socket and replace the bulb. As far as the heated seat switches you can replace the light bulb. You have to remove the switch and take it apart. Once you have it apart you will see the bulb. You have to remove the bulb from the little socket. Take it to radio shack they should have one to fit.
To safely remove a broken bulb from a socket, first turn off the power to the socket. Use insulated gloves or a cloth to carefully unscrew the bulb base from the socket. If the bulb is shattered, use needle-nose pliers to remove any remaining glass. Dispose of the broken bulb properly and replace it with a new one.
try changing the bulb or turning bulb around in the socket as the bulbs are polarity sensitive
You have to connect one conductor from potato to one terminal on light bulb and the other to the second conductor. Your light bulb must be a low voltage and low current bulb because a potato delivers very little power. Light bulbs that screw in would have one connection point on the screw in part and one at the bottom of the base of the bulb. It would be best to put the bulb in a socket that would allow easier connection of wires instead of trying to wrap the wire around the bulb.
