4. 15 minutes of your time
NOTE: The bulb should be handled with a clean lint-free cloth at all times to avoid any dirt or oil. Our hands are naturally oily…The oil residue from our hands can cause premature failure of the lamp if the front side of the lamp is not wiped down after the installation. It doesn’t hurt to do a final wipe with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth before reinstalling your lamp…

This guide is for the Sony XL-5000. Make sure you've got the right lamp. |
|
|
You'll need the tools mentioned above. |
|
Examine the enclosure. |
|
|
Identify the screws holding the metal housing in place. We'll get that off first. |
|
Use the Philips screw drive to remove the top metal and plastic piece. |
|
|
There should be two of these screws. |
|
Pull the two pieces apart. |
|
|
|
|
There are two screws that hold the ballast connector in place... |
|
|
Remove them. |
|
Move the connector out of the way. |
|
|
Remove the first half of the enclosure to expose the lamp. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the front cover. |
|
|
|
|
The lamp is free of the cover and the enclosure. |
|
|
Grab your replacement lamp. |
|
At this stage, you should have quite a few pieces laying about--DON'T LOSE THEM! |
|
|
Place the lamp into that front cover and mount it back in with the screws. |
|
Put that back cover on and then reconnect the ballast connection. |
|
|
Hand tighten screws into place, careful not to over tighten the screws. |
|
Finish driving all the screws in. |
|
|
This is the complete unit. |
|
Make sure you don't have screws leftover. |
|
|
|
|
You're done! |
|

IMPORTANT: The bulb should be handled with a clean cloth at all times to avoid any dirt or oil. Our hands are naturally oily…this is a no-no for these lamps. It doesn’t hurt to do a final wipe with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth before reinstalling your lamp…
