throw them in the oven and take a butter knife to them. if you mess them up, you can always buy my nhbp headlights.

My friend did this on his Mitsu Evo headlights. Dont put it in the oven you could melt the plastic before you melt the glue. take a heat gun and gradually heat the glue. dont just concentrate the heat on one spot, because that could make you head light crack. take a knife and gently seperate it. when you put it back together, i think my friend use black silicon for like roofing or something to put it back together. he's headlights turned out great. but his taillights has a small 1 inch crack in them.
