Did anyone of you remove the lamp from the plastic housing and retained the original housing structure that came with TV?

NO we will probably just buy the bulb and not the housing next time and take it apart and replace it then.It would be alot cheaper that way also.But hopefully we won't have to work on that for awhile.I was happy to have helped you if I did lol.

I did not, not required. The Sony TV manual does not recommend it and as the bulb has mercury in it, it may be hazardous. It's all about pull out (old one), push in (new one), play....

I would be happy to help you.I personally bought this product,it came and I just took the old bulb and housing out and just put the new housing and bulb in.took about 10 minutes.and the plus is,you end up with an extra housing and you can just buy the bulb alone which is cheap and put it in the housing.then you would have an extra housing and bulb for backup.Hope that helped you and have a great day.

I found that it was unnecessary to remove the lamp and place it into the original housing. The new housing was an exact duplicate of the original. The vents and reinforcements were identical to the original housing. I have had the new lamp installed for 45 day and it is still performing. Rod

The new lamp comes in its own new housing so there is no need to reuse the original housing.

HelloI used the housing that came from the lamp. I fits very will and looks identical to the original. The whole process took around five minutes.

You can remove the base from the lamp with a simple turn of the set screw.. BTW.. this lamp is very good for the price..I bought it for a spare lamp.. but it is now my lamp of choice on my work bench.. good price..good lamp.. and good luck to you Dave..

The problem is that the guide on the bottom of the lamp is off set 1/16 of an inch when the plastic was poured...this blocks the lamp from seating all the way into the housing on your tv. The simple fix is to carefully shave off the "v" shaped ridges of the bottom guide so that the metal stud does not hit the plastic guide. Then your lamp will fully seat and the screws will tighten down. It's a flaw that happened in China when the lamp cast was made. You can see the misalignment of the raised plastic guide on the bottom of the lamp and the metal stud on the housing bracket with a flashlight when trying to seat the lamp in the housing. Once the raised plastic grooves on the lamp is shaved off, the lamp will seat and the TV will reset and operate...good luck...this in tire barca of lamps should be recalled by Amazon...they should not be sold, it's a manufacturing defect.

I installed mine, cleaned dust out of compartment and repluged tv and worked perfect. I would unplug tv and remove light housing and reinstall I believe thats what I did, now that I think about it. Remember keep lamp clean. Good luck, I still have set works fine.

are you should you have the exact lamp? it should not be smaller than the original unless you took the bulb out of the housing unit!

I replaced my lamp two weeks ago..had a real rough time. there is a tiny screw at the top of the very front vent. take that one screw out, then find a way to slide the top plastic facing toward you...it should pop out, not easily if your projector is a bit dirty. I had a very hard time getting it off. I did not believe it was right so I took every single screw out and tried taking the projector apart from the bottom. I finally got the top plastic cover to slide up and off...then it is quite self explanatory. Luckily ,i did not damage the internal parts of my projector when I took the bottom screws out.

Couple of screws on the back panel, right hand side, near the bottom. The panel that gets removed is about 8"x4" and if I remember correctly, it has writing on it. There are a couple of screws to remove the housing from the TV. Remove it and replace the lamp. Warning, though, to not touch the bulb or the oil from your fingerprints will ruin the bulb. If the price isn't a huge difference, replace the entire housing instead of just the lamp. It's alot easier and you run less risk of ruining the lamp.You can always look on YouTube, also to see the lamp replaced, step by step. Good luck. :) Couple of screws on the back panel, right hand side, near the bottom. The panel that gets removed is about 8"x4" and if I remember correctly, it has writing on it.

Yes. We ended up taking the bulb out and installing it in our old housing because the connector piece on our new one was slightly different - not sure why. It wasn't a problem, just don't touch the bulb. Works great!

I had a bad one once and amazon let me return it right away... something you should know, I am an audio / video tech. and I know a little about handling the bulb... never touch the glass or bulb with your fingers, the oil from your hand will cause a burn out or shorten the life of the bulb... use a glove or a towel while handling. and if you have the original bulb that came with the TV, use the old housing with the new bulb and you will have better results... good luck and I still have my tv and works fine... its a great model.

When I first replaced the lamp, it took me a few times to get the lamp locked into place. Once it's in place, it should work fine. I also needed to clean off the dust from the inside of the connectors with a rag. Hope that helps

Yes... it's the bulb and housing. The whole assembly you remove from the side of your TV.

It is the correct lamp for that TV, BUT the housing is poorly made and has fitment issues. It ruined my TV, so be careful.

We vacummed out the where the housing goes. We did not notice a smell. Although when the tv is turned on , we get the notice the lamp is nearing the end of its life and needs replacing.

From what I remember once they were unscrewed it slid out pretty easily. Took two people to.do it though. It was quite an easy setup though. Great tv.

I am looking at buying a used tv from amazon.com warehouse with "small cosmetic damage" to the housing of the tv and wanted to know what your experience was with what you posted here.I greatly appreciate your input!

No. But see my review for comments on these lamps from different vendors. The original filter housing can be carefully opened by putting pressure on the two tabs to release the two pieces of the housing; the foam and the plastic screen filters removed for cleaning (and then replaced in the housing making sure to reinstall in the same positions and orientation as they were originally assembled); and the two plastic parts of the housing snapped back together to contain the filters. A replacement Panasonic filter (Part # TXFKN01VKF5) can be purchased for around $25.

The important thing is that you unplug the TV power plug from the wall first. Next , pop off the silver speaker grill by prying it off with your finger tips around the outside of the grill. Remove light assembly by unscrewing the two screws that hold the light in place. Slide the old light assembly towards you and push new light in. Tighten screws in new bulb, and replace grill. Plug the power cord into your wall outlet Push the power button on your TV and the lamp should power up. Follow the instructions for resetting the timer to "0" , but be sure and push down the two buttons they talk about on the TV, not on the remote. Have fun!
