I can't get the old ones out. I got the light assembly thing
off
the track but I can't get the bulb out. Is there a special
tool
for this?


The bulb just pulls straight out. You can wiggle it a little
to help
slide it out. If it won't come out, the pins may be corroded.
You
can take a shoelace or piece of twine (don't use wire) and wrap
it
around the bulb a time or two and use that to pull with more
force.

HTH,

well I finally got one out. Getting the new one in is near
impossible. ****in IKEA.
