    I'm interested to know how to go about replacing the bulbs? I have a set of 194 LEDs ready to be installed, but when i removed the 2 mounting screws holding the light fixture on, the whole fixture comes off, but not apart. Does this fixture split apart? I don't want to force it, as I don't want to shatter the old plastic. Anyone with an opinion?
