Ideal Zeroid Robot Light bulb replacement

"All roads lead to 0 light activity ;(

I did end up popping the top off. It was gut wrenching and careful work. Eventually with an exacto and scalpel I was able to find gaps and get the blade edge in. All of a sudden it popped off! Completely intact thankfully.

Getting the bulb out was difficult but I did it and got a replacement. Still not lighting up. I’m not sure why but at this point I am going the arduino route and replace the light altogether with an LED that changes colors and flashes. Will post pics once complete!

Thank you all for the answers provided!"
