file down the lower one so its hardly there, and will fit in the socket backwards.

I used nail clippers to clip off the upper ****. It fits in backwards this way too.

Just be sure to leave one of them on there I guess.

Upper ****, closer to the glass bulb. File, nail clipper, what ever you wish.
