So I wanted to take off the air deflector that sits above the headlights and cooling fan to look at the possibility of adding auxiliary lights.

However, every one of the plastic screws will not unscrew and it looks like I'm going to have to pry each one out to get them off (I already broke one). Is there any other way to go about this or maybe replace the broken screws after the fact?

Thanks.

Are they actual screws or try unscrewing while prying.. they might be expanding fasteners not actual screws..

Expanding fasteners is what they seem to be, I couldn't think of what to call them.

I tried this and was able to remove one this way, the rest are just sort of floating around in the holes and simply won't come out.

Auto parts store will have them in bags for replacements, I wouldn't worry about them breaking.. just see if you can slide needle nose pliers under head and pop them out IMO
