well make sure you get High Temp paint....and if your going for the whole clear look then go ahead and replace them....and be careful when putting them in the oven( i wouldn't do it personally) because you might come out with Blacked out headlights instead but yea....you can try prying them apart with a screw driver instead.

yea but you don't neccessarily have to heat it up really....you could also use a blow dryer to. But really all you need is elbow grease and a screw driver....kinda digging at it cutting it away.
