I have seen somewhere else putting the headlights into a warm oven to bake before separating the lens. Have to get the temp right.

Rough guide from what I can search up about 95 degrees C (200F) for 15-20 mins. Make sure you have an accurate oven thermometer, and start a bit cooler than hotter - don't hurry prying it apart, use gloves to handle hot stuff etc.

After that, simply unscrew until you get the plastic bit off and spray that black.
