Solder terminal back on sealed beam headlight
 

I have an old power beam headlight that one terminal came off. Tried a bottle torch and acid core solder. It doesn't want to stick. Should I be using different solder?

I've done it before with my HD Weller soldering gun and rosin core solder.

I'll give that a try, thanks.

Rosin core solder for electrical, always. A torch will throw too much in the way of fumes at an electrical joint. Just buy a new bulb.
