If you're talking about the plastic lens, the answer is fairly miserable.

What I found was that the best approach was to just cut off as much of the lens as possible, leaving the mounting flange in place in the light. Then, you can cut around the flange on both with a hobby razor. Once you have worked a piece free, get a knife under and work your way around.

Heat won't do shit.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PRY AGAINST THE HOUSING. It WILL crack.

The first light I did before I figured all that out took about 10x longer.
