Great! Thank you very much Marc. I thought I accidentaly pulled out the glass part of the bulb leaving its base in the socket. I only see those types of lights on my Christmas tree.
My bug has alot of "new features" added on by the POs. Some are good, most are bad. I think I'll keep this hazard light as it's a necessity.
