You can not remove the lens. You must replace the entire light.

I would just take it off let it dry out then put some clear silicone around where the lense and the houseing meet. You should be good to go after that.

I think you need to remove the grill.

as your looking at the light check the left side of the lens between the light and the fender, there might be a tab you push in and pull the the light outward at the same time.

To take off the bumper light housing you're going to have to take off the headlight first. After this, you will be able to see a tab on the left side that holds the bumper light housing in place. Push the tab to the left then pull out (toward yourself) and to the left. It'll come right out.
