Most you could if its a plastic lens. If you do it will never seal back right unless you use something to seal it with. I have tried this before myself and ive learned to just replace the light its easier. You also will have a issue with fogging up and humidity once you break the seal.

if you do it right you wont have a problem i have broke my headlights apart on my 94 civic and my 96 civic just preheat the oven to 200 and put the headlight in there for about 7-10 and then pull the lens off clean the glue off and reseal it completly and you wont have any problems with moisture or water as i havent had any problems

be careful with glass headlights. i dont think da's are glass but if they are you can easily crack them if you dont heat the glue up enough.

Pulled the lenses off of my old 2000 civic. Used a hair dryer and flat head screwdriver. It was a bitch, but it worked. I didnt use anything to reseal them when I pressed them back together. The oem adhesive sealed back up with itself pretty easily, for me anyways, and I never had any leakage problems with moister gathering on the inside.
