*I believe this is for the non-LED models only, someone with the LED model can either confirm or deny this for me*
Well, one of the threads on here asked what we have for survival gear in our 4runners. I went through all my stuff and remembered the bulb in my Mini Maglite is burnt out. It's been that way for months, I just never got around to getting a new bulb. So, I went on Maglite's website, so that I could look for the part number. I found the exploded diagram of the Mini Maglite, and found something that looked like a bulb, but I couldn't tell. I looked at the part name below, and sure enough, it was. So here's how to get at it:
It is inside the tailcap:
This is what you need to be looking at once you remove the tailcap:
Next, you have to pull the spring out. It pulls straight out, doesn't need to be twisted out or anything. *NOTE: when putting the spring back into the tailcap, be sure to seat it in nicely, or else the light may not work. This spring completes the circuit.*
Here is the bulb inside the little red housing:
And it works again!
