What are you using? I typically use around 200F/100C. You might need to try to pry them apart in the beginning then put them back in for five minutes and try again then do it again. Maybe have someone help with a dryer or heat gun (on low), while you pry, and just make sure there are no retaining screws.
The thickness of the plastics are probably cheaper than OEM, so just be careful prying.

I tried with 200F/100C for about 20minutes, thats what went well for the OEM's. But on the VLand the sealant is still firm at that temperature.
So can i go higher? Let's say up to 300F/150C. Or could i damage the headlight? I already see that the black plastic has not that oem quality.
I do not own a oven this size, but i made a chamber out of cardboard and heat up the inside with a heatgun. There is no direct air flow on the light.
But still no way to pry without too much bending...
