You light it at the top of the two things sticking up in the third picture. One is the gas for the pilot light. The other is the thermocouple, which is just a sensor to detect when the pilot goes out. You may need to hold the lighter (or twisted paper) well beneath the spot where the pilot flame will be, allowing the lighter flame reach up to light the pilot. Move the lighter around a bit until the pilot is lit.
If the lighter is lit for more than twenty seconds, allow it to cool before trying again.
If it goes out often, the thermocouple MAY need to be replaced, but first check if both covers are properly in place, and check for any drafts. A draft can certainly blow out the pilot flame.

Im back with a long bic lighter, like those huge long ones...
There is a diagram here...
http://gasfurnaceguide.com/2010/how-...e-pilot-light/
However, I dont know which one is the one for the pilot light, like which part am I supposed to put the flame in? You said in the third picture there are two parts sticking out; I don't know which parts you mean... Both those parts are attached to wires...
Diagrams on the net dont help because all the furnaces look different than mine..
There are no instructions behind the door that i can read... i just dont know which area to light..
Im watching a video now
