    Did you leave the original bulbs in there? Do you think that heat shield will not be needed? I took mine off too, but I changed to blue leds. I like it is a lot brighter.

    Great! I'm giving it a shot.

    How do you remove the plastic cover? (without breaking them)
    I saw the pins on each side, I tried pushing them out with a flat screwdriver, but they're in there pretty deep, or do I have to remove the whole thing and get it from the back side?

    I took that shield out when I went to LED's. To remove the cover, pry the front open.

    Pull straight down. Sounds like you break them.
    They can be replaced thou for less than $3@ + shipping.
