    I would just get a new fixture assembly and replace it. You may have some luck with solder.

    LEDs are nothing but trouble, IMO.

    Maybe you can get a repair wire that will have the socket tab to push back into the socket then splice the wires.

    Damn.... It's $1k with a thermometer and compass and $200 without? Seems like an unnecessarily large price gap.

    It snapped out - maybe it wasn’t soldered in - will it snap back in? Maybe with a lightbulb as a former/ pusher?


    (Of course it has to be overhead - the worst position to work.)

    Go to a junk yard, look for a replacement. Just a thought.

    Just looked at the pic, is the light broken in the socket? If so get some small needle nose and wiggle it out.
    Disregard I see now.

    There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call ...the TwiLEDlight Zone.

    I know dude. Just poking at you. LEDs just are not worth the trouble or effort needed and then the many issues that come up. Nope, Don't need the hassle.

    And as for the long life of LEDs... I can't remember the last time I had to replace an incandescent map light or interior light on a vehicle, and that has been a long time.
