soak them in hot water, then take the lights out of the water and use a hairdryer to heat up the adhesive, once its warm then attempt to seperate the glass from the light, try first to cut the adhesive away by running a knife through the gap, then slowly and carefully pry the two apart. To restick the lens make sure everything is dry and use tigerseal or another suitable adhesive/sealant.

Yo do this I used the oven method. Before you do this make sure you remove the reflective section that holds the bulb. I put mine in the oven on about 50 decrees celcius and just kept checking it by putting a spoon in the gap where the adhesive is and gently prying it apart. Eventually it should come of and won't damage your fog light or the oven. Here's a pic of mine
