Click to expand... Are you referring to take apart the bulb fixture itself? Because when I took out those 2 screws, one of them I just had to pull on to get out.

I see the heads in your second picture. Do you think those might be the two screws that do the job? What happens if you take them out and run them all the way through? In other words... are those two screws supposed to go through the two holes in the spring-top, then through the ceramic fixture.

They just seem to wiggle around. EDIT: Never mind this. Took me a couple tries to get it, but got it back together. Last edited: May 28, 2016
