the whole lense assembly pops out. use a tape covered putty knife or something similar and start at the front and press the whole assembly towards the rear of the car while pulling the front out. The whole lense should come right out. If you go clear, you will need to get two amber 5 watt wedge bulbs. prettyy easy---just be careful not to scratch your paint.

Factory uses a clear wedge bulb behind the amber lense. If you go clear lense and use the clear bulb, your side markers are not amber when lit up.
Each state is different, but they are suppose to be amber if you run front side markers.

Thats easy, go on ebay and get them. I've seen them for as low as $15 - $23. I haven't seen the bulbs as I wasn't looking for them but i'm sure you can get them there also although I'm fairly certain other members here now of bulb meccas to point you towards. Good luck.
