[Healeys] Bulb holder issue

[John Spaur]

If you spray it into a container and let it evaporate it will leave an oily residue.

Again, WD 40 is not a lubricant.  It's purpose is to displace water.  In the past I have used it inside a distributor cap that got wet to get the car running again.

You could always try to get some WD-40 in the socket to reduce the friction to rotate the bulb.

I have a similar problem with my dining room light fixture, which uses the high-intensity bulbs.  The only way to rotate them is with my thumbs.  The real problem is that the socket gets loose, and just rotates with the bulb.  I have taken most of them apart and re-tightened them, but hard to get at, especially when standing on a short ladder.

I have been struggling with the removal/replacement of the halogen taillight bulbs on my car. I simply cannot get q good enough grip on the bulb to push/turn and remove it from the bayonet socket.  Unlike later cars the glass lens on the 100 is almost flat, the bulb is straight with no shoulder and does not project very far beyond the surface of the receptacle. 

I'm sure there is a trick here--can anyone share it with me?
