Whats the trick to changing these mr16 lightbulbs? This is the light:
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.

well I finally got one out. Getting the new one in is near impossible. F***in IKEA.
Long skinny fingers.
I don't have them, but is there a way to get the bulb socket to push out of the reflector shell? Maybe a twist on the socket? Perhaps you saved the instructions?
