By default, for 3 icons, Excel calculates the 67th percent and 33th percent. 67th percent = min + 0.67 * (max-min) = 2 + 0.67 * (95-2) = 64.31. 33th percent = min + 0.33 * (max-min) = 2 + 0.33 * (95-2) = 32.69. A green arrow will show for values equal to or greater than 64.31. A yellow arrow will show for values less than 64.31 and equal to or greater than 32.69. A red arrow will show for values less than 32.69. How can I change/format those values to the following:

Green = between 100% and 90%
Amber = between 89% and 80%
Red = anything below 79%

Note: I'm using MS Excel 2013

Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
Select the data as normal and apply icon set you require as normal

then go back and select manage rules when you select edit rule you can set the parameters for the icons

Now that I don't understand.

I am using the same excel.

How are you applying the icons, are you selecting the range for the rule, going to hometab, conditional/formatting/icon sets?

Right... this is what I have:

Green arrow:
"when value is >=90%"
Amber arrow:
"when value is <90% and >=80%"
Red arrow:
"when value is <80%"
