Removing headlight glass - 964rh - 13th-Dec-22

Morning all

Does anyone have any tips on how to remove headlight glass from a Scalextric car?

Car is question is a Maserati Trofeo that I want to strip and paint.

Glass looks like its hot welded in so is it just a case of chipping away with a knife/scalpel until its free?

Thanks

Is it heat welded in from inside?  If so just grind the melted plastic off and they should pop out.
