pick up a haynes manual mate, will make things easier to follow a set of instructions in a certain order.

Front indicators iirc means you need to remove the headlilight, twist the retaining caps on the headlight then pull towards you, got to pop it off the ball and socket at the back. The the indicator lense should be a clip in/out jobby.

Side repeater, rear up inside the arch and twist the wire plug off the back, then twist the lense and it should pop out.
