Haha, I just did this today. Assume you're talking about the front side marker lenses.
It takes awhile but it's not too hard. You just need a 7mm socket. I went from under the car and removed the black plastic guard. Then, I pulled the brake cooling duct down and out of the way a bit. From there, I felt up to the light and there are 3 bolts and 2 bulbs holding it in. Use that same 7mm socket to undo the bolts. Carefully slide the housing out and put the new one in. Put everything back and move on to the other side.
It's not that bad!
