Ugh...I tried using a lighter and pliers and ended up messing up big time. I just ordered a new bulb from superbrightleds again...hopefully I won't get another dud.

Done! What was so hard with superbrights not doing that in the first place?!

I noticed people were busting out lighters for this. Maybe I was a lucky one, but they came off rather simply. I used a wallpaper scraper than took no more than one minute per side.

Just leveraged in with a corner of the scraper until it lifts... then use the flat end to keep raising it on all sides. Simple.
