I just used a screwdriver and wedged it in the bottom seam. Pry a little until it starts coming loose and keep moving along towards the outside edge. But one of mine was already broken so it came off easier.

No heat, just pried them apart. There's no guaranteeing they won't break, I just did mine cause one was already broken. But if you got an extra set go for it.

Time for an update
A while ago driving home on the interstate, I started braking on the off-ramp and my car replied with a horrendous noise that worsened every time I had to stop. My passenger side caliper had siezed, and the pad wore all the way through and ate up the rotor pretty bad.
Here's a pad from the driver's side compared to the passenger side
Got some 35W 6000k bi-xenon HID's. Decided they were too obnoxious so I got some Nokya 7000k bulbs. Funny cause the Nokyas are just white, not a hint of blue.
6000K HID's
Put in oem struts for winter
Went out to my car one morning and noticed this, it must have happened in a parking lot the day before
Also I always thought my tires only rubbed on the fenders. But apparently they were rubbing the insides too
And back to winter in North Dakota. Oh well, drifting is fun

Thanks! I'm loving the results as well as the look.
Was planning on installing my rear coilovers today but then this white stuff came back this morning. Come on, it's April!
And got some goodies in the mail recently, here's a sneak peak.

Not much of an update, haven't had a lot of time to work on the car
I dropped the rear some more, I want to lower the front more but can't right now because I'm already rubbing too much. We'll see how it is when I switch wheels.
When I first put the rear coilovers in:
Coil height:
Change:
New height:
Revision of my steelies in progress...
And some more pics of my projectors. The passenger side is bowed, I should have tested them before sealing the headlights. But I can live with it
And this is a comparision of the driver side halogen compared to the passenger side projector
