Default Spotlight socket
I would search for this, but that is not possible yet. What socket is required to remove the spotlights? I was thinking of adding these:

Default RE: Spotlight socket
A slotted 9/16" or 14MM deep socket or regular socket worked on mine when I did that conversion. The slot is required because the nut is attached to a hollow threaded tube with the lamp wire running inside. Just don't ratchet continuosly or the wire will tear.

I have both the deep and regularsockets that were made by grinding a 3/8" slot along the lenth.
