pull the side of the repeator closest to the door away from the wing towards the headlights. it shud come off. then twist the old lens anti clockwise from the wiring stalk and pull out of position. fitting the new ones is the reverse of the removal

They should be really easy to remove. Just grab the lens and slide it to the right about 1/4" and pull it towards you quite sharply. Probably just loads of C**p on the gasket holding it in place. But as Lewis says, you may need to remove the wheel if they're stuck fast.
