A heat gun and a small straight screwdriver should do the trick. Don't burn yourself.

You might have to pry it a little bit. Don't chip the lense.. and don't put the heat gun too close or you'll melt the lense.

Well, you've prob got silicone shit all around the lense, securing it to the base. So you've got to seperate that crap.
