If you can get a dremel in there, then "convert them into flat head screws.

Soak the rear part of them with WD-4 or what I like best, PB- Blaster!!!

If you can't get a dremel in there, then use a screw extractor to get them out.

[djcaz_aom]

i tried to take of my headlight but was wondering if you have to remove the black bumper that is under the bumper ?

You should be taking of both the support(the part you refer to) and the cover. They come off as one piece.

I posted a link on one page to the Tayima website. They sell the paint as Krylon discontinued the stained glass lineup.
