A Mercury vapor light typically requires a specific voltage to operate, usually around 120 volts for standard fixtures. Therefore, it can work off a 110-volt socket, as this voltage is within the acceptable range for most mercury vapor lights designed for residential use. However, it's essential to ensure that the fixture and bulb are compatible with the voltage and that the socket is properly rated for the wattage of the bulb. Always follow manufacturer specifications for safe operation.

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
