How to Replace a Kirby Vacuum Light

Kirby vacuum cleaners are a brand of vacuum that has been available for years. All Kirby vacuum cleaner models have a headlight in the front to make it convenient to see into dark places when vacuuming. The headlight on a Kirby vacuum is plugged into the receptacle on the power cable with a snap-in fitting. This makes it easy to pull out the old bulb and push in the new one. A new headlight for your Kirby vacuum is available at most vacuum repair shops.
