    you dont. the headlight is an assembly. if the glass is cracked, you pretty much need a new headlight assy. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    Try using a heatgun to soften the glue holding them together and then scrape the glue out and gently pry apart.

    Why ??

    As stated by Chris, cracked glass means you need a replacement, not a repair.

    OP might be installing projector headlight or cleaning reflector. He didn't say anything was cracked.
