How to change halogen downlight globes?

Page 1 of 1
Sorry no sure if this is the right forum but I've got these old annoying swivel downlights that I have no idea how to get the globe out of. Anyone know the trick?? I've googled/youtubed and I can't find a downlight that is similar to this....

The globes have 2 straight prongs at the base that push into a holder. Yours looks like that black ring around actual globe either pulls out or closes up together as per a circlip to remove globe.

Edit done to reflect the next posters correct answer.
needle nose pliers to pinch the 2 end of that plastic circlip together. then remove circlip, get a piece of thin string, wrap it around the globe, twist together the string in ur hands so it grips the globe and pull.
Thanks I'll give that a go!

Hi, you've probably already resolved this, however, Commbank will probably pay the funds to you after you send evidence the work is done regardless the change in the quotes.
