I'd heat it and open it. Then you will know it is all out and it won't be a future issue. I've done it with tails and heads, not to tough.

Once your remove the headlights you may consider putting about half of bottle of rubbing alcohols into the headlight housing to rinse out the shattered bulb/glass inside the headlight housing.

Did this about 1 month ago to replace a customer's headlight.
Open up the hood
Remove the top bolt
Turn your wheel to oneside to access to the inner fender
Losen the inner fender (the black parts) I think there are two screws at the wheel wall and two on the botton below the fog lights.
Then from the inner wheel fender wall, you can access to 2 bolts to lossen your bumper (on the side).
Now you can reach in to losen the bolt that's holding the headlights in.
