Just replace the assembly.
You really want the lamp to work to notify you in the event of a failure.

start twisting the end back and forth and pull it off. DONT twist around and around. just a lil back and forth. i believe it has a connector in there. you can get by with just the end being replaced if the wires arent broken down at the column
