The bulbs have a sticky coating. Can it be removed? How? What is its purpose?

The sticky coating is silicon rubber. If the bulb glass shatters it will be held together safely by the coating instead of spreading glass everywhere. The coating feels creepy but it is a good thing.

I have never had that problem before call my after 14 years of using the product. Extreme care must be used to ensure that the bulb is meticulously clean. The slightest amount of dirt or fingerprint will impact the bulbs ability to function.

The bulbs, regardless of wattage are the same dimension and stick out ~1/8" (4mm) from the plane of the sheet metal. If they didn't do that, it would be tough to get them out.

It's tricky but I did replace a spiral shaped bulb. There is a YouTube video using sticky tape to adapt the use on smaller bulb, but I didn't have to use it.

No, that's part of the bulb and needs to stay in place. As I remember there was a warning in the directions not to remove it, but just to be sure, I checked my light bulb and that part is in there.

I don't know, I got rid of the fixtures that took these bulbs as I had to replace them way too often, couldn't stand the cost of the bulb, changing the fixtures cost less than the bulb.

They can be removed because of the velcro attachment. However, the other side of the velcro will remain attached to the surface you affixed the spotlight to.

I have not tried to remove the coating, my unit is mounted on the passenger side of the console so it doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight (for the most part)

To your second question, you can hide the bulb by moving it to a side with the bulb fixrure

No the fixtures are not removable it pretty sealed up. Not sure you could even replace the led elements. But seems to work well as is.

Sure just cover the bulbs with a pair of socks to avoid looking at the light it's quite dangerous as noted on the container

The metal bracket has to come off. The new bulbs fit flush into the light fixture.

Thanks Bob. I just don't like throwing it away since the bulbs are still good and will last for a very long time.

a little effort and some time. From the light end, the lens is a cap that can be pried off. Then some effort to pull the light out. you have to pull on the light bulb with some effort, wiggle it back and forth while pulling on the bulb. This will removed the bulb and battery pack. I will say it again, some time and effort to pull it out. just take your time.

You have to rotate/turn the light tube. If you look carefully there are two slots on either side of the light fixture. The light bulb has metal sprongs/tips at either end. You know I just tried and I don't remember how I did it. Try calling the company as they don't have online videos telling you how to remove this particular product. 800.842.8848

Not exactly sure what piece you're referring to, but I did not remove anything before start up. the bulb should not be exposed to water.
