Anyone know an easy way to remove old silicone sealant from the sides and
things like the clearance lights?

Razor blade and bad language. Hard to get what has combined on the surface to come off. There are chemical products that soften the silicon, your success will vary.
New silicon will not seal successfully to old silicon, the bond will fail.

Be aware that chemical sealant softeners/removers will take the paint off as well.

I use 3M adhesive remover. Comes in various sizes, I usually use the 1
quart squirt spout can. Stinky stuff, but it does not hurt paint. Works
well on silicone sealer when paired with elbow grease.
