if you talking about the glass lense, then yes. just put the complete headlight after being removed from the vehicle, and place them in a pre-heated (225 degrees) oven for 12-15 minutes. mine took 15 minutes. the glue will get soft and use a screwdriver to carefully pry lense apart from housing unit.
