I'm not sure how to remove the front bumper lights...
in the manual it says to use a cloth and a screwdriver (or whatever), and "pry" it off,

but when i tried to, its real resistant, and im worried about bending/scratching my bumper.

do i just continue to pull or am i doing it wrong?

 

head screw driver and place a cloth around the tip, then pry it off, it should be a little resistand, but not that much. If you are doing this then its right.

 

The lens is spring loaded. The idea isn't so much to get behind the lens and dig it out as it is to push the lens toward the front in order to compress the spring. To do that, take the screwdriver wrapped in a t-shirt or towel and wiggle your way in behind the back of the lens. As the screwdriver works its way in, it will compress the spring. Eventually the spring will compress sufficiently for the lens to release from the rear.
