they can, but they are notoriously difficult to do. i cracked a set after an hour of trying gently to prise them with a 450 degree heat gun and a lever. i have heard you can get pre-smoked valeos ( non diy )

The black covers do split, you do one set with boiling water and carefully start to work the glass of with out damaging the glass, the black cover will be deformed and useless by the time your done.
So you need a second set, smash the glass with a hammer get as much glass out as possible first then I got a hair dryer and heated the glue enough so that it would scrape off with a flat blade screwdriver.
Its a lot of faffing around to save a few quid but I certainly won't be doing it again
