so easy buy cheap ones off ebay as they have clips on them, heat with hairdryer and gently pull apart with a screwdriver. just heat the glue again and put the clips back on to seal it....simple

they are a nightmare to make fair doos there much cheaper , the first one i tryed i used boiling water and a screw driver gently prising the glass off , this resulted in a hole in my hand from the screwdriver and a hefty burn off the water , best way i found is to buy 4 headlights , smash the glass on 2 and use the back and the inner part you spray then get the other too and use an agle grinder to chop the light up then you have 2 glasses and 2 backs then tiger seal them up

Valeo ones - Waste of time - Smash too many even after being in the oven.
Lucas ones with minimal Glue and clips - Awesome job, easy to do!
