Lense removal

I'm working on a small project. I need to know how to remove the tail light, amber light and the small, red light covers on the sides of the car. I appreciate any help!

Your tails would be removed by removing the inner truck liner, trim and 3 nuts on each taillight. Be careful not to scratch the bumper cover upon removal. The rear side marker lamps simply snap in and out of the cover, they are tight up in behind the cover itself. Amber light? Not sure which one you are refering to here, but the license plate lamp is attached with 2 plastic screw in the bumper cover as well.

The amber turn signals is what I meant. I should have clarified that. Sorry. Thank you for the help!

you have to take off the splash guards in the wheel well and you will get to the lens, it is just held on by a clip so it is easy, you can also get to it if you put it up on a lift or raise the car up on jackstands

Lens removal, or housing removal? Those are two different operations Housing removal is very simple and relatively painless. Lens removal from the housing is a whole 'nother beast - it involves careful use of a heat gun and lots of patience.
