My PT-47WX42 projection tv is going dark. the colors are there but it looks like the brightness is turned way down. does this sound like the coolant is bad?is the projection bulb separate from the 3 colored guns?

It could be your bulb. Projection TV bulbs only last a few years depending on usage and then they start to dim. Google says this TV was produced around 2002 so if you use it a lot, that's about 6 years of usage. I'd start there...
