Step-by-Step Guide to Troubleshooting Common Christmas Light Hanging Issues

Identify the faulty bulb: Carefully examine your Christmas lights and look for any bulbs that are darker than the rest, as these are likely burned out.
Remove the faulty bulb: Gently pull the bulb from its socket. Be careful not to use too much force as this could damage the socket.
Replace the bulb: Insert a new bulb into the socket. Make sure it fits snugly and is the same type and wattage as the original bulb. Once replaced, plug your Christmas lights back in to see if they're working.
