Ive got a bulb out in mine, do you have to remove the whole light or does the cover come off?.....I tried to take the clear cover off but doesnt seem to...would like to know before I break something!.....

The cover comes off but do it somewhere warm..it is sometimes a bit of a wrestling match .

I'll Play! Are you trying to make each of the lights illuminate individually, as in switched?

Yup..we have a winner..2 switches, one to center bulb the other to the two outside bulbs. So 1, 2 or 3 bulbs lit.

There must be a dozen different way to do this. I had an extra westy light so I swapped the end with a switch
to make a housing with 2 switches. Looks stock and wiring is quite simple.

I have a few friends who went the high output LED way and I love the light when you need it but to enjoy a cup of tea
with company it's too much so this is what I came up with.

I absolutely want to do this. Anyone have any sources for good warm warm LEDs and specs/diagrams for wiring them up?
