One of the fluorescent lights on my Dixie Narco 368 has burnt out and so the other one just barely glows. I was going to take them out so I could take one to Home Depot and make sure I get a match, but I can't figure out how to get it out! :)

There is a metal bracket that seems to be holding it in, but I took out the screw from the bracket and the bracket still didn't move. There is a white plastic piece that the light goes into but I can't seem to force it up or down (depending on which end I'm pushing on) to get the light bulb free.

I feel silly asking.. but can someone tell me how to change a light bulb? :) This is the 4 foot long 50w fluorescent bulb that lights up the front panel.

How many idiots does it take to change a light bulb? More than this one I guess..

Oh for the love of humanity..

I tried one more time after posting, and I got it out. I just wasn't lifting it high enough to get it clear.

Now to see if they have a bulb like this (one prong on the end instead of two like I'm used to seeing).

Glad you got it. I remember it took me a while to figure out that you had to lift them up when I had to replace my first one.
