Some sockets are made out of ceramic and can be fragile. You may require a screwdriver to remove the illuminator in order to get to the light bulb. Compare the removed light bulb with the new bulb.

FL150/70 EKE LIGHT BULB INSTALLATION: Never touch the glass of the light bulb especially if you are replacing a mercury short arc, xenon, or halogen bulb. The oil from your skin increases the surface temperature of the bulb causing the light bulb to a have shorter life. Reverse the procedures when you removed the burnt out light bulb. Some higher end equipment require filament alignment. There should be adjustment screws that change the X and Y axis for proper performance.
