well first, unscrew them to get them out of the bumper, then take a heat gun to heat up the glue holding the piece together, then u just unscrew the lense, simple as that.

the plastic cover is dirty and has a yellowish tint to it. i was wondering how to clean it so it's as clear as possible. the amber lights aren't what's bothering me

Try some bug and tar remover. Or, and I don't know what this will do to the plastic, maybe soaking them in some diluted bleach.
