Has anyone successfully separated the two halves of the headlamp assembly?

I have opened up car headlamps before by baking them in the oven at a low temp to soften the sealant used. I was going to try this on my XB lamps but noticed it is sealed with a silicone sealant. Auto lamps are sealed with a sealant that remains pliable and heat makes it softer.

I cleared the tabs and pulled with all my might with no luck. If I pry on it I will chowder up the edges that will be visible on my build.

Any tips? Anyone done this successfully with out effing up the housing?

Thanks!

The early versions for the R were just held together with screws and came right apart
