20. How do I replace burnt-out bulbs or install a blinker bulb?
First, make sure that the set of lights is unplugged. Then, carefully take the bulb with its plastic base and gently remove it from the socket.
Do not remove the socket from the wire. Bend the lamp wires straight to remove bulb from plastic base.

Insert the wires of the new bulb into the holes on the bottom of the plastic base, then bend the wires upward, like the one you removed. Reinsert the base with the new bulb into the socket, making sure the wires line up with the contacts in the socket.

One of the most common causes of bulb burn-out is having too many strings of lights hooked up together. When that?s not the case, it is probably the result of a blown fuse or one of the bulbs being loose.
The best way to determine this is to have a light tester. Many today don't even require you to remove the bulbs to test them.
The fuse goes into the plug on the end of your string of lights. The original fuse can be burned out by having too many strings of lights connected together.
