Can't you?? 
Don't use the oven man. If your missus or your mum has a hair dryer put it on high and blowdry it till its hot.. then pry the clear lens off with a flat blade screwdriver. Careful getting the indicator lens out of the bezel though, theres 3 clips and the pricks break. |

Same method works well on EF/EL lights too. And tail lights.
The glue used is heat sensitive. You can also avoid using silicone, by reheating the pieces (getting the glue hot again), and putting them back together. I did that on my EL tail lights, and they never leaked.

Thanks for the info too, will try that kinda sounds a tad bit safer

Do it body colour.. everyone does them black and they look nothing special.
