I read somewhere about sticking them in the oven at 120 degrees or 150 or something before pulling them apart..

4)Place the headlight assembly into the oven for about 20 minutes @ 200*F

It's the headlights - it's all in that guide Archie posted.

I think whistler said he used an oven, but a heat gun you would have to work your way around the tail light and try not to get burned and hope that the glue doesn't re-set before you get a chance to pry on it

It not worht all the effort, but if you would like to do it put it in the oven for 20 mins and pry it apart with a butter knife very slowly hoping u dont crack the housing. I would not do it again if I had the chance.
