It would take some care b/c you could scratch something but if you do do it yourself you could change out the buld to LED maybe hyper white or blue

Yeah they might...but they will also replace parts they damage. Just make sure they note the condition before replacing the bulb. I had one replaced acouple of months ago with no problems.

Banging on it really does the trick. I never saw it on before. Cool.
