How do you change a broken lightbulb?

i have 2 lightbulbs that are broke. the only thing that is in the bulb insert is the silver part that screws in.

there is no space where the silver ppart hangs out to where i can grab it with a cloth , pliers or whatever.

theses are screwed in pretty flush to the hole.

so without electricuting me lol , how would you take that out.

i sware i heard a potato before but arent potatos used to make electricity? lol

hope someone can help me.

#1 Turn off the power at the breaker.

#2 Make sure the power is off.

#3 Check again that the power is off

#4 Have someone else check that the power is off

#5 Now try the potato trick. Or take a rag, and wrap your hand with it and grab the remnants of the bulb from the inside, and turn.How do you change a broken lightbulb?
You need to turn the switch off then loosen it with a pliers or something! Good luck!!!!.
potatoes dont make electricity.

lol.
just turn off the circut breaker for that set of lights, and you can use a potatoe to unscrew the blub, as long as the breaker is off you wont have any electricty going through there. if there is just the smallest of edges you can grab with needle nose plyers then that would work too
I have had this problem before and what I did was to use a wash cloth. I would stick it into it hard and then twist it while holding pressure on it. Hopefully it will work for you!
Hi,I would cut down an old broom stick handle on 4 sides.Then put the square end into the socket and unscrew the broken base of the bulb.They also sell in some hardware stores a base retriever,that is a blade that is insulated so you can attach this to a pole to reach hard to get places. Good Luck.
