The last train show I bought some bumpers. They needed some paint and had no bulbs or cap lens.
A good deal never the less.
The first thing is removal of the pins to remove the inner parts. One method I notched the pin with a cutting wheel and used a screwwdriver for removal. The only problem is that a piece may break off while twisting it. I had one break but still got it out. The other way is to pry it up with a small screwdriver. A notched putty knife may work too.
Next I cleaned the copper where the bulb sits. All that was left was repainting.
After painting. The right shows a bumper unit, I replaced the missing bumper with a dowel.
