Default Removing front market lenses for clear ones - how to do it?

I am swapping my amber front side marker lights for the clear ones (PO bought them and never installed them). How does one go about removing the old lenses. I understand how to change the bulb, but am not clear on what needs to be done to remove the old amber lenses. I know some of you have done it before - your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Also, what amber bulb replaces the #1155 clear one?

Many thanks.

You reach up from underneath and turn the black ****. They come out very easily that way.

Dremel is your friend. I cutted amber lenses away with Dremel, then just glued the new clear lenses.

I suppose you mean these lenses:

Thanks Olli. They are very similar to the clear ones. Did you have to remove the bumper cover to do it?

there is a flap in the wheel well to get to the lense to remove it.
