Its a pain to seperate them - they're bonded on with some damned good glue stuff. You can try baking them in the oven to soften the glue, but take care as the glass will be old and easy to chip/crack.

Are the reflectors gacky? You may be better off just buying a new headlamp unit, they can be purchased off ebay (or here) pretty cheap.

EGAY or local panel stockists, iirc mk2 headlights are about 40 quid new, each

Its a painted/coated plastic.

Head lights can still be bought from Vauxhall for just over £50 each.
