Extracting the bulb!

Next you'll mostly likely have to remove the base that holds the actual glass bulb. This is the most difficult part of the mod. You'll want to wear gloves and use lots of patience when extracting the bulb from the base. I broke the prongs out of the bottom of the base then used side cutters to free the bulb from the metal holder toward the top of the base. After it was loose I worked the bulbs thick leads back and forth until I was able to cut them at a reasonable distance. You don't want to break off the power leads to the bulb or you will ruin the bulb.
