Viper Clamp lamp experience? I need help..

I've had my JBJ Viper Clamp lamp (150W) for a couple months now and decided that its time to change the bulb...So i buy a new bulb and unscrew the screws from the plate that holds the light in, but now the plate wont come off! It almost seems like i'm going to have to pry it off. This question is directed mainly to people with experience with these lamps, but all other comments/advice as to why i cant get the top off is appreciated

thnx

 

Can you take a pic of this and post it?
Does it slide?

 

Where you from in Ohio??? I'll try to do some research for you.....

 

I live around the University Hts area. I dunno if i will be able to get any photos up, due to the lack of a camera. Oh and more good news, my bulb wont turn on (it trys to boot but it doesnt fully)

The lamps almost looks like the 2 head pieces have melted together therefore not allowing me to change the bulb!!!! damn!!

thnx again brad

 

Ok my luck has changed, thank you God! i have managed to pry it open with a knife and hammer....lol wow it was on there.

Thnx for all the concern and help

peace
