Help!!!! Whats the stupid secret?

[phorsenuf]

So I set up my Christmas village that I bought a couple years ago (huge set of buildings an accessories I got at a yard sale for $20!). Anyways, I picked up a 5 light set to connect the electrical to some buildings. Well when I went to take one of the lghts out of the building it fell in and now I can't get it out! Its one of those stupid kinds with the lightbulb the clips in and I can't get it out because of the clips.
Help!!! Whats the secret????

If I'm understanding this right, can you tip it where you could grip the clips with a tweezers?? It's really gonna bug you if you can't get to it, huh??

Its driving me crazy!!!
I'm trying to pry each side closed with 2 butter knives but that's not working too well. I can't flip it over to get it out bulb first either! My town isn't going to have an antique shop pretty soon because this thing is about to go out the window!

Needle nose pliers! Or you get one clip part way out, secure it with something then carefully use the pliers to get the other side out. It can take some doing but eventually it comes out. ALthough I have been known to just bust the clip and go buy I new one!!!

Great, is this another one of those words that people are going to insist on shortening like "prolly"??
