Are you sure the lens is plastic? All I have seen are frosted glass. If that's what they are, they twist off, counter clockwise, about a 1/4 turn and some of them are a real bear. I broke one getting it off.
It's hard to get a grip on the lenses when it is flush with the ceiling. If you are careful and gentle, you can pry it down a little with a flat blade. The fixture is pressed into the opening and will slide out of the opening a little so you can get a better grip around the lenses to turn it. After changing the bulb push it back in.

I have used the rubbery cloth that my wife found at Wal-Mart and uses on the shelves in the cupboards to keep the dishes from slipping around. Just place it flat on the glass lens and press and turn. I had to change one of the lights above our couch, and form the description here it is the same fixture. Anyway it worked. Hope this helps.
If yours are like mine, they have the two little prongs and the whole halogen bulb is about the size of a wood pencil (in diameter) and total overall length about 3/4 of an inch. It is a 10 watt, 12 volt G-4 base and you can get them at Walmart for about $4.00. I buy them on e-bay for $0.99 in lots of 10 and $2.00 shipping. They are T-3.
