Changing a recessed light bulb problem

Hello-

I have two recessed light fixtures in my kitchen and both of the bulbs recently burned out. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to replace them. There is a glass/plastic cover that is held in place by two tabs (one on each side). You'd assume that you could bend the tabs back to remove the glass/plastic cover, but the tabs are so tight that that will not work. Any suggestions??? We have not had light in the kitchen for weeks and are at a loss of what to do. THANKS Here is a picture of what I am referring to:

B

|AAAAAAAAAAA|
---- ----

In my "picture", the B is the Bulb, the AAAAAA is the glass/plastic cover and the ---- are the tabs. I simply cannot get the cover off to access the bulb. Any suggestion/advice?????

Allan
