Default I need help getting my front bumber off

I'm putting some new headlights in my car today and taking the bumper off will make it so much easier to get the old ones out, since they are one piece. The little plastic screws that hold my bumber on are frozen in place and strip so easily, anyonw know what to do?

hahaha, your screwed

Option one use locking pliers, try and get them to lock onto the whole bolt, make them as tight as possible it should break free.

Option two drill them out and get replacements ones from honda.

Should replace your taillights too while your at it

You need a BIG FUGGIN SCREWDRIVER to not strip them and get the leverage you need to get them out.

You can always get one of those grip tights to get them out if you strip them.

If you can wedge a flat head underneath them and push up wile you try and unscrew them, that helps....

Which screws are you talking about exactly? The ones right above the wheels on the side of the bumper?
