This unit does not have bulbs it has tubes.What is happening is the coolant fluid in the picture tubes is contaminated with a fungus( blue and green).A repair shop should be able to fix this problem for about $250.I do not recomend fixing this problem youself,but when it is fixed this unit will look like new
