Question how to remove turn signal/hazard housing

Lost the amber lens on the drivers side of my 2010 Wrangler Unlimited Sport.
Couldn't get just the lens had to purchase the whole housing.
Question is how does the old one come out.
I have removed the bulb from the housing and now need to remove old housing and replace with new. don't want to break either one removing or installing.
Any thoughts.
I'm sure it's quite easy I'm just missing something.
the housing is round and mounted in the grille.
Thanks in advance for the help.

The housing. You will need to remove the inner fender liner to get to the housing. Then it's just as simple as pushing up on a small piece of plastic then it comes out.

No need to remove any fender lining. I take those lights out every couple months due to having to touch up the black paint I put on to black them out. The lining might give you more room but you don't need to do any work in the area, just touch the tabs with a scewdriver.

All you need is a flat head screw driver and undo the clips. There are two clips, If you are looking from the engine bay towards the bumper, it would be at about the 10:30 and 14:00 position (going from memory). All you do is push the little tab in and push the light housing away from the tire as if you were trying to make it land in front of the jeep.

Thank you both for your help.
I made the change today.
I found it easier to remove the front wheel to get at it.
Again thanks for your help.
