    • Sockets that hold the cord in with a press-fit design are hard to reuse by design. Unless you can depress the cord, cut the cord at the socket and discard the bulb socket.

    • After removing the plastic cover and switch, remove the bulb socket with a Phillips #2 screwdriver. If your socket is press fit, these are generally not reusable. Cut the cord unless you can pull the cord and not compromise the socket.

    • Discard any broken or unwanted components.
