I have a Home Accents pre-lit Christmas tree. A bunch of the lights weren't working when I put it up this year. One strand had a half of a strand completely burned out (black inside the bulb). I replaced many of the lights, then got to a light that had a different base / collar than the others, and I couldn't get the light out to replace it. When trying to get it out with pliers, I broke the bulb. But when the pliers touched the 2 wires inside, the whole strand lit up, and the lights were twice as bright as the lights on the rest of the tree. Could this be some sort of resistor or transformer? Any idea how to replace or fix it?

There's a photo of the white collar I can't remove (the one I broke, and another intact one). Then there's a photo of the green collar, typical one you can remove to replace the bulb.
