The housing is part of the bulb cooling system so it has to be properly mounted to cool
I did a quick look for the bulb and yes you can find bulb only BUT they are $10 to $20 more than the bulb and housing !
So it looks like it is cheaper to replace the bulb and housing. As a guess I would say that these bulbs are what someone has found out to be a replacement but can't purchase then as cheap. So to save yourself some money buy the combo.
There is a threaded ring that must be turned counter clockwise to remove bulb, it can be done without removing anything but the ring once the ring is pulled away from lamp pull bulb out and buy replacement, suggest you buy two new lamps and replace withthe new halogen lamps.
Ok, you can buy the bulb separately and it will save you money. I will have to warn that , installing this bare bulb will be tricky and you can not touch this bulb with your bare hands. it will damage it. Other than that, it is possible to purchase the bare bulb alone. i will post a link to your replacement bulb without the housing below.
You can find a new OEM Sony replacement CRT's (red, green, and blue bulbs) for a model # KP51HW40 from a major Sony distributor at the following links:
I would suggest to remove the lamp from your TV and check it. You can also just buy the lamp without the other hardware.
This site seems to have good prices.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.
