I want to plug a fixture into an outdoor socket, but the fat/thin recepticles are on the wrong sides, resulting in the fixture being upside down. Can I turn this socket around? Thanks for any assitance! newbie

Turn off power, remove the faceplate, remove teh two retaining screws and turn the socket 180 degrees. Reinstall screws and cover plate, turn on power. You're done.
