Trace where your gas comes into the room where your furnace is. There should be a main on off valve before it goes into the furnace. Turn it off and wait a few minutes. Then turn it on, and turn the green dial on your furnace to pilot, start, on, something like that and hold it in if you can. You should hear a hissing sound which is the gas coming out. Then turn on your lighter and wave it around where you normally see flames. If it does not catch, stop after a few seconds and repeat. The reason to stop and repeat is that you do not want to be waving that lighter around for more than a couple seconds as gas is being put out. The place to place the lighter is where the gas comes out, probably above the two tubes - see if there is a hole or compartment above the two tubes in the photo where you can stick the lighter in. You may need to remove an additional cover above those two tubes in the photo. If you have a pilot light dial that pushes in, keep it pushed in after it lights for 30 seconds before releasing it or it may go back out.
