    Vanity Light Chain Broke
    I have a bathroom cabinet that has a strip of 4 light bulbs at the top. One day I pulled the chain on the outside of the cabinet that turns the bulbs on and off, and it broke right off. I took off the top panel where the light bulbs screw in, and inside I found this little box... almost shaped like a whistle (?) but very very tiny. I can see that if I can get INSIDE this little box, there is a place where the chain loops around and could be reconnected easily. Except - I can NOT get this little whistle-looking box open!! There are two pins holding it together but I can't see how I can unscrew them, pull them out,. nothing. Can I have this whole piece replaced? Does anyone know how I can get this apart?
    Thank you!! :)

    This "little box" is not made to take apart, take it out of the fixture and then go to the hardware store, taking the old one with you and buy one just like the old one. If you do this repair yourself be sure and turn the power off at the breaker panel.
