Got this so you can change the bulb, but I think that its vertually the same process to get the light housing out also...

1) Jack up the front of the car, and put jackstands underneath.

2) Remove the front fascia lower closeout panel.

3) Remove the brake caliper cooling duct from the front fascia, then reposition the duct.

4) Remove the socket from the lamp assembly, then remove bulb.

At this point remove whatever hardware holding the lense inplace and swap out... Hope this helps

I must say this is the best forum imagiable. Thanks so much to everyone offering such needed info. Especially to those of us that are mechanically challenged.
