I did this about 2 years ago, I'll try to explain it best I can.
You'll need a blowdryer, flathead screw driver, needlenose pliers and silicone sealant. This is for a 99 solara, dunno if it's the same for other years.
SammySolara posted a link that tells you how to take out the lense.
Once you get it out, use the blow dryer on the black rubber lining at the end of where the amber piece is. Carefully peel off the lining to the point where the amber piece ends. (You can take the whole lining off, it'll make it easier to take the amber piece out but takes more time. I didn't take the whole thing off, so don't come to me if something goes wrong)
Now use the flathead to pry open the clear piece from the housing. Be very careful, I cracked the clear piece. (If you took the whole lining off then you can take off the whole clear piece.)
Using your needlenose, get a grip of the amber piece and pull. There are 3 clips that's holding it I think, so it'll take a bit of force. (If you did take out the whole clear piece you'll have to figure out how to get the amber piece out)
Once the amber piece is out, put the clear piece and the housing back together and use the sealant to stick the black lining back on. If you cracked the clear piece, use the sealant to try and fix it.
If you have any questions just reply here.
