Just did my AE's on my 01. It didn't have an amber connected to clear corners, it was all one piece(amber) so I removed the whole thing. When you are delensing it, just take your time. The high beam lens shoule come out of it's opening in the front. For the low beam you will have to remove the corner reflector and take it out of the side.
