Should be just twist and pull correct? I was twisting enough to move the whole bumper and wiggle the car but they wouldn't budge (in either direction). They're not sealed or glued in some way are they? I could try pliers or something but don't want to break the darn things...
Yes, first time i did mine it was tough to get the housing out. Just keep twisting and make sure you're twisting counter clock wise and pulling eventually it'll get loose. I just kept trying and took a lot of elbow grease, but you'll get it eventually. Or just try using some kinda of cloth or something to give you a better grip.
