Removing front turn signals

I have searched and couldn't find out "How to remove the front turn signals/fog lights"?
The whole assembly !
My lenses got damaged removing the clear bra.The clear bra welded itself to the lens and when pulling it off it marked the lenses and I need to replace them.
Anyone have any information on this?

Thanks,

Stacy

sunracer is infamous around these parts
There is a trick to removing them. You take a credit card (Porsche has a special tool but it just looks like a credit card) and holding it vertically push the card into the outside edge of the turn signal. This will release the catch and the turn signal will pop out slightly. Then just pull on the open end of the signal and it will come out. There are no screws or fasteners holding it.

One credit card didn't work so well but two made it the right thickness.

What were the steps involved in polishing the lenses. I want to do this since my lenses are somewhat pitted. Thanks!
