I believe "side rpeater" is british talk for "turn signal".
I am guessing you want to swap out the orange lenses for something a little more cool looking? I am not sure if that is an option.
If your '96 is like my '94, the light assembly is one large piece. I am not sure you will find what you are looking for to get the job done. If you have managed to find something, and your orange lens comes out separately, then all you should have to do is remove the screws that hold in place... a close examination of the area should reveal the screws... the you may have to remove a thing or two to get to them.

Onlt tool required was a thin flat screwdriver and a piece of rag. The rag is to stop the screwdriver scratching or marking the paintwork. SLip the screwdriver under teh edge of the lens and lift. No screws its justa clip in assembly. Both sides done in about ten minutes including cleaning the paintwork around the lens hole. :grinno:
