Default how do I remove the DRL assembly?

the entire housing for the DRL, Markers, signals, etc...
never really noticed it before, but I just replaced my amber DRL bulbs with clear ones (looks better IMO), but inside both housings are about three exploded bulb fragments and one whole bulb (don't ask)
I want to get the entire assembly out so I can clean it out.

You might need to pop the whole fascia out?
