Do It Yourself- Bubble Light Repair
Here is a video on replacing the light in a Bubble Light... it really was the best I could find but if you get thru the "nonsense" it is good. I would be prepared to click forward to 1:46 to begin the info and still occasionally to filter thru some not so needed parts... I definitely agree with the dremel tool over another video using a saw blade but I would also make a mark to line the 2 halves back together so the cut edges will fit the best...
