Step 2: Remove Casing From USB Drive
Remove the casing from the flash drive. Be careful not to damage anything!
Step 3: Remove Filament From Lightbulb.
Break in the filament on the bottom and slowly take it out.

I would suggest filling the entire light bulb with hot glue or clear epoxy, and then breaking off the glass part (to leave a solid glue bulb) that way it is much more durable

That's a good point. Maybe it would be better to coat the inside of the bulb with a thick layer of the epoxy

There are two problems, one, not enough pictures or details. How do we know this works anyway. Two, the picture on step 2 isn't even yours. Give credit to that person.

I didn't say it did not work. I said how do we know? This could and probably does work. I just want to see more pictures...
