If there is no standard A19 base in your can (a regular light bulb base) then this is the wrong LED trim for you. Is there a little orange plug? You can get an LED retrofit at Home Depot for that or any big box store. Or hunt for one here.

If it does not have a socket, then it should have a two wire connector that plugs together. If not, you might need to cut of the connector and just wire not the conductor together. If you are not experienced, you shod hire an electrician.

You need to see if your can is a low voltage can. If it is you can not install this retrofit.

This LED light is designed to replace and standard bulb. If you have a different type of bulb such as a slot for a florescent tube shaped like a "U", this replacement light will not work. You'll have to replace the entire with a standard socket, although it would likely be better to just replace the can with a LED light in the first place.

I am not sure how your can light worked before with out the socket to hold the lamp???? if there are the power wires in the can, you can connect direct with out the socket part attached to the led light.

It was a little confusing for me as well. Just place your hand behind the center of the outside plate (on the outside), and then with the other hand push the round spring loaded plate back to meet with your hand. This springs down and around the socket. Then the bulb should just screw in. Mine works great. Love it. Good luck. Steve Bullock

I would try a known good light bulb. If that doesn't work return it the sockets broken if that does work it's probably a bad bulb.

AS you can see, it has three different types of connectors, so you should be able to plug it into an old trunk light socket, if that's what you're asking. The light square has a strong double sided tape backing. My wife loves it, the light is much brighter than the old bulb.

Can't without a stop/run/turn module or using dual filament incandescent bulbs.

you need to remove the starter. should have had instructions with the light. the led requires no starter so you will have to do minimal rewireing.

The Taillight Assembly DOES NOT include the bulbs or sockets. These Items are shown at the bottom of the listing page under frequently bought together.

You must remove old one and slide new one over socket, you may have to trim sockets down to size hence why they are so inexpensiveDane HarmonDCH Electric & Lighting

Sorry, didn't get a chance to try. My check engine turned out to be a cracked head. After replacing that, I didn't get the light and haven't had the time to install mine.

Your lamp probably needs to be hardwired into a recessed box. If you want to put a plug on it, it's not difficult. If you don't feel comfortable with that, ask someone qualified to help you. It's really not difficult but something you need to make sure is correct.

Yes to both questions. It is like any other can or recessed light, you can put any bulb in it, it has the standard socket. The trim ring that comes with it is the stepped white one, we repainted it dark bronze, but you can add almost any spring fastening type trim to it.

I installed the Lights in a Club and do not have access to the instruction and do not remember the wiring scheme!

I am pretty sure the socket is connected right to the base, I installed it last year so going by memory. But you may be able to modify it to work. I would check the mfg website and take a look at the details, maybe they have a diagram to view. Great light for the money.

The light must be installed , unless you want to leave the iner wires and worings of the fixture exposed since no cover plate is included. It is a cosmetic issue..

There is no bulb, it's a LED, should never need replacing, however, it should be a simple and ordering the upper part of the light, my suggestion would be to just purchase another one if this occurred... Might also check into warranty with Maglite

The unit uses a socket nut in which needs to be screwed on before putting the light bulb.
