figured out a way to budge it open easily...Set a lighter to it for three seconds heating up the side u wanna pull off then slowly grip it with a set of pliers and twist slowly...(broke one of my leds trying because i twisted fast)..then clean out the epoxy melted over the resistor. Then place the cap back on ( by then should be all twisted up but its ok)...should work..

Lesson learned:superbrightled bulbs are not great

vleds perhaps?
