Removing foglight glass?

Has anyone removed the foglight glass from their Maxima? I need to separate it from the housing. I put it in the over at 300 for 15 minutes and I could not pry that sucker apart. Anyone have any tips?

And don't ask why I need to do it.

HA HA!!! I got it. I found the secret. If you've ever taken the lenses off your headlights you know you just have to pry the two apart. Well the foglight lense goes about 1/2" INTO the plastic. So you have to sacrifice a little piece of the housing to get behind that and pry the crap out of it. 350 for 15 minutes in the over and pry away.
