When I took my front bumper off the car it took a whole lot of yanking to get it off. I removed all the screws, and even the 3 screws between my headlights. After I got it all off I noticed that I cracked the top of my bumper because where the 3 screws were, the bumper was still stuck in there for some reason. So when I yanked, it broke the 3 holes where the screws went through and cracked the bumper. Is there a special way to take the bumper off other than yanking? Should I have pried up the metal piece that the bumper slid into under the screws?

Start by leaving all of the bolts that you have already pulled out of. Next pull out your front bumper lights and set them to the side. If you look behind them you can see two bolts (10mm I think). Be careful when pulling these by yourself because one side will fall if you do it one side at a time. Try to prop one side up, pull one bolt on that side. Then go to the other , pull both of those and see if you can't hold that side up with something and pull the other bolt out from the other side. The only thing is that this pulls the whole bumper off not just the cover. Still have not tryed to pull just the cover off yet . hope that this will help.

The turn signal lights in the bumper or the corner lights? I know there's bolts behind the corners but I didn't think there were more behind the bumper lights
