Bulbs can be replaced in Nikon Speedlights.
The Nikon D60 SLR camera can be equipped with a number of different flash units within Nikon's "Speedlight" line of flash units. If the bulbs in these units break, it can be very expensive to replace the whole unit, which easily runs several hundred dollars. However, it is also not easy to replace light bulbs within a flash. It is not immediately obvious that bulbs can even be purchased, although they are commercially available through Nikon and some camera stores. Furthermore, it requires some skill with electronics, such as knowing solder wires together.
Instructions
1. Remove the rubber covers holding the screws holding on the bottom of the flash head. Remove the screws underneath and slide off the bracket holding on the bottom cover of the flash.
2. Remove the four screws holding the zoom motor to the flash and gently move the bulb assembly.
3. Unsolder the bulb wires and remove the bulb. Replace the bulb with the new bulb and solder the wires directly back in place. Both bulbs are delicate, so this must be done carefully.
4. Carefully screw the zoom motor back on. Screw the bottom bracket of the flash assembly back on and cover the screw holes with the rubber covers.
