Default Is there a way to replace the side lens on an EF tail light?

I have two tail lights for the driver's side for my '90 Civic hatch, one has a busted amber section and one has a chipped side section, the reflector/etc. bit on the actual side of the car, you'll see it this pic.

I noticed that this piece of the tail light lens is actually seperate from the rest of the lens, and I'm wonder how you remove the lens -- either just this piece or all of it, if I can get the whole lens out I can figure it out from there. But if this little piece comes out seperate it'd be nice.

Any help is appreciated, I don't want to bust this tail light trying to pry it apart. The only thing I noticed are some clips on the tail light's lens that clip into the housing (or so it seems), but the lens doesn't flex so I can't just push the clips in and lift the lens out.

Thanks in advance for any info on the lens removal.

I might have a spare tail light, I'm working on a '90 hatch aswell.

In the event you can't replace the lens, and need to replace the tail light, PM me and I'll sell you it cheap.

Also, just a quick glance at >>http://www.ehow.com/remove-honda-door-panels/ suggested there might be a few guides out there for you. Not entirely sure though. Happy hunting!
