If they have depo stamped on them then its easy, I used a heatgun but suppose you could use a hair dryer to heat up the glue, take the metal clips off and off they pop after being warmed up.
Me and a mate attempted it with valeo headlights and just failed miserable, smashed the glass it just didn't want to come off.
If you don't have depo headlights then see if you can find some in a scrappy, my local one charged me £20 for a set.

You can also remove all elertrical bits from them, and put in a bucket of boiling/hot water, takes a bit longer but it adventually melts.
