hair dryer, and a screw driver/wide chisel.

use the hair dryer to heat the seam between the front glass and the main body. Insert the screw driver and gently pry away. Once the opening is big enough, insert the chisel, and widen the opening by twisting on the chisel. Work your way around the headlight that way.
