Inevitably, each year when I take out my “new Christmas lights” at least one whole string seems to have gone bad.  So, I open the generously provided  replacement bulbs and begin my journey to determine which bulb has gone bad.  I will confess here that I have NEVER successfully found and replaced a bad christmas light bulb.
