What's the best way to disasemble your headlights?

So I bought some DEPO Projector headlights awhile back, and I'm sick of the horrible fitment of them so I want to paint my stockers black and change back to them. Was just going to see if anyone had any tips on how to disassemble them, because I started to and I have already broke one of the plastic clips on one...

I know they are not projectors but it is the same principal. I would stick them in the oven at 200F for 20 min instead of using a hair dryer though.

Use the oven. More even heating. Hair dryer is going to make hot and cold spots and you'll just end up fighting it. Don't go too hot, remember it's plastic you're heating.
