Required materials: AAMP rewire kit, light bulb (not pictured), lamp shade (optional).
The AAMP lamp rewire kit should include a new cord, a socket shell, a socket interior and bottle adaptors. (Refer the second image to view the contents of the kit).

Thread the new wire through the hole on the bottom of the lamp. Pull it out through the top of the lamp base. (Refer the first image to get a better understanding.)
Place the old check ring on top of the lamp with the wire threaded through it. (Refer the second image to see the check ring.)

Ensure that the lamp cord sticks through the top of the lamp base.
Insert the lamp nipple and the lock nut into the bottle, in such a way that one-fourth inch of the lamp nipple faces up.

Pull either ends of the wire so that you have about 2-3 inches of the wire separated.

Tie an underwriter's knot in the two separated pieces of wire.
How to tie the knot: Form a loop using the first wire. Take the second wire and form a loop around the first. Pass the tail of the second wire through the loop of the first.

Check both the conductors at the end of the wire. Find the ribbed conductor and wrap it around the silver-colored screw. Connect the other conductor to the brass-colored screw.
Tighten both of the screws in a clockwise direction. Make sure the conductors are securely under the screw head.

Place the socket shell (with paper liner) over the socket interior. Snap it into correct position. Listen for clicks to make sure that the shell is locked properly.
The socket should snap together to form one piece.
