There must be a timer that lets you know when "The end is near" after about 4 years of usage. Bulb replacement took about 5 minutes. First, I let the set cooldown for a little more than an hour. The purchased bulb was inside a housing. After removing the old bulb and housing, it seemed there was no way to take the old bulb from its housing. For the DIYer, I recommend getting a housing with your bulb, the first time. It's too much hassle messing with them when you want to get the set working again.
