So I want to install a new LED light bulb on a '94 Dirt devil deluxe upright but I don't know how to get to the light bulb. Do you remove the entire cover? I've been very interested adding LED warm white light bulbs on my vacuums.

Yes you take the whole top piece off. The lense covering the light bulb is part of the top, although you can remove it once the top is off. This cover your removing doesn't use screws to hold it on, you have to insert a flat blade screwdriver into the front sides and rear sides and pry it off the bottom chassis.

You need to flip the machine over to get your screwdriver where you need to pry the cover off. If it hangs up and won't come off, check for a possible screw about where the handle release peddle is. Replacing the cover is a snap,pun intended.
 
Today I managed to get the hood off and it was a little tricky but luckily there was a video on how to do it. I installed the new LED lightbulb and unfortunately it didn't work. Both of them are double insulated. Is there another bulb where it should have the proper end?

Panasonicvac, yes the old lightbulb works but I thought I try out an LED lightbulb on a Dirt Devil Deluxe. I think LEDs on vacuums are cool and a lot better.
 
The LED lightbulbs I tried using on the dirt devil works excellent on my older Kirbys, Eureka Vanguard, The Boss Widetrack, and Hoover convertibles.

Did you check the bulb in another machine to see if it isn't a dud? The only other thing I can think of is that the contacts in the new bulb are not touching the contacts in the socket.
