A light bulb is made out of three items. A filament produces the light, glass gives the light bulb shape and controls the brightness, and the base allows the bulb to be placed in a socket.
Remove the lava lamp by lifting up the glass. It separates from the base because it just sits in it. Unscrew the old bulb and screw another one in. When you remove the bulb you will notice that the bulb and base may not be the size of a standard household bulb. On the inside of the base, or the bottom of the base, there should be information about the type and wattage of the bulb. You need to get the same type of bulb to insure that the bulb base will screw into the socket. The wrong type bulb may not fit in the socket or the bulb may be too large and the top of the lamp will not fit properly on the base. If you get the wrong wattage, the bulb may not be hot enough or to hit to make the bulb function properly.

The ridges on the base of a light bulb are called grooves or threads. They are designed to help secure the bulb in place when twisted into a socket.

An E-11 indicates it has a mini candelabra base bulb. I am not familiar with any d11s.
The threads on a candelabra base bulb are just over 3/8 inch across where a regular light bulb has threads that are approximately 1 inch across
The 9006XS bulb has a slight difference in base design compared to the 9006 bulb. The XS designation indicates a different base type that is specific to certain vehicles. It's important to use the correct bulb type to ensure proper fit and function in your vehicle.
Bulbs are typically made using glass for the exterior shell, a tungsten filament for the light source, a gas mixture inside the bulb to prevent oxidation, and a base made of metal or plastic for connecting to the power source.
Unavoidable in certain situations. Light fixtures are sometimes mounted in the ceiling - the bulb must then be mounted base up or base horizontal.
Its A Candelabra base bulb :-) However, one can find "medium" sized base bulbs marked "Type B."
