Hi, We purchased a home built in 1997 with these MR16 recessed lights in the kitchen, in a vaulted ceiling in our master bath, in the living room and on our front porch. Unfortunately the many of the lights don't work and reading online informs me that the receptacles are known for pitting, etc. Some of them appear to have been replaced (and not with ceramic caps, one had wires that were contacting and sparking). My local home center sells the bulbs but not replacement receivers because they say that they're just junk. One suggestion I see online is replacing the receptacle with GU10 for better contact. Some just clip the old receptacle and wire in the receiver the GU10. There's also mention of a transformer associated with these. I don't see a transformer and I'm unable to figure out how to get the cans out.
Can the I just rewire new GU10 receivers or does it entail something more complicated? Any other suggestions?
