But you can not heat them and get them apart i know a person that tried and melted the ehad lights before they would come apart. So you would have to cut them .
Are you sure? I know 6th gen lights could be completely different but I heated and pried apart my 5th gen ebay headlights to take out the reflector. And I'm almost certain somebody opened their stockers as well. You have to do it very slowly, with the oven at only 250 deg. I put them in for only 2 minutes at a time, and pried a little every time, probably repeating the process 5-6 times.

But again, I wouldn't try this with your stock lights unless you have a spare set! And like I said, it's entirely possible that 6th gen lights could be impossible.
the lights are different, the only way to get them apart is like Mickey said, to cut them.
