BX25D Melted taillight socket/housing

[Runs With Scissors]

Just discovered my BX2370's burnt-oit right tail light bulb was melted in its socket. Wondering if I should replace the whole socket and wiring harness or just continue trying to remove the bulb and find a replacement bulb.

If its not a total lose, I would grab a pair of needle nose pliers and try to get the bulb out.

Especially if the melted portion cant be seen. (Then you can buy 50 dollars of your favorite ammo and be no worse off )

where glasses and have a box of bandaids there BEFORE removing the bulb. rubber gloves are a must as well.... tape the bulb to reduce 'glass chards everywhere' !
slip joint pliers worked better for me,got a better 'grab' of the glass. used electrical tape on them as well....

Son's Christmas present to me this year was an LED lightbar for my ROP. Can't wait to get that bad boy bolted up, but still waiting on a couple of custom brackets [No-drill clamps].
