Eh, it's not that big a deal - it's an ANCIENT television, but the owner kept the original manual, which had instructions in the back for switching out the lamp, and the same instructions were even etched on the back of the TV. This kind of TV apparently isn't exactly popular anymore because the bulbs burn out every few years (or months if you're unlucky), and then it costs like $150-250 to get a replacement from the manufacturer. Unless you cheap out and get the $30-50 generics from Amazon like me. XD

Either way, all it is is opening the back panel with a screwdriver, unscrewing a box that holds a light bulb and a filter, pulling it straight out, then putting a new box/light bulb/filter straight in, tightening screws (apparently optional, since I couldn't do it), and putting the panel back on. The only reason it was difficult in this case was because the cheap replacement didn't fit as well as the manufacturer's brand, and I didn't realize for awhile that the fit was as poor as it really was.

Well also it was difficult because it's a 60 inch TV on a narrow entertainment center up against a wall, and I had to get behind it. :P
