No, not directly. You can buy Halogen bulbs that are made to be used in a standard light socket. They are for sale at the standard outlets. I have a number of these in my house, and I use these in some of my light sockets. Just for you information I have one in my lap as I am typing this it is a Philips Master 120 Volts 60 Watt bulb. The only condition is that you have to get a specific bulb for dimmer circuits, a standard halogen does not work with dimmers. The bulbs have ceramic insulator protecting a balast circuit, the dimmer bulbs have a rather large ceramic end, that is sometimes enclosed inside the standard light globe. All the standard bulb manufacturers should sell these. You just cannot use Halogen bulbs in enclosed lights unless they are made for this purpose, as is the dimmer variant I wrote about.

What LED bulb replaces a G4 20 watt halogen bulb?

There is no direct cross over replacement for the halogen bulb. The pin configurations are different. The halogen bulb has pins whereas the LED lamp is an intermediate screw in base. The LED bulb uses an intermediate base so that it can be screwed into a regular household fixture as a direct replacement for the old incandescent type bulb.

How do you change a headlight on 2004 vw new beatle?

Look on the side of the light fixture under the hood of your car. There is a knob sticking out of the side of the fixture. Take a long screw driver and push the knob over about 1.5 inches. This will release the light fixture. Pull the fixture out from the front of the car and you can access the blubs. Don't forget to NOT touch the new light bulb - body oils will greatly shorten the life expetency of a halogen light bulb. anybody know how to change the cabin air filter in the same car? HELP!!!

Can a bad lighting fixture cause a light bulb to fail?

If you install a bulb and it immediately fails with a flash then the fixture or more likely the supply voltage is a problem. This is a rare failure mode for the standard screw-in incandescent bulb. Essentially the only way it can happen is if a voltage in access of the rated voltage is applied to the bulb. It is more likely that the fixture shorts out and takes the bulb with it during the current surge. This can happen more easily than a constant over voltage condition, but after that the fixture is usually toast. If there is a ballast built in to the fixture, it can fail in a way that can eat light bulbs. One other failure mode that can reduce life of bulb is an enclosed fixture that overheats and causes the bulb to have a reduced life span.
