You can buy black insert angel eyes.
Not oem but another option. They are about 135 from quick googling.

but if you nacker up your oem lights trying to split them open be prepared to pay similar for replacing them with new ones.
Ive seen new oem/oem copies on ebay selling for nearly 100 quid a side. Obviously breaker 2nds will be cheaper but probably need rubbing down.

Back in the Saxo days you would stick them in the oven for the glue to heat up then get a screwdriver in between to pry them apart. Pretty ghetto thinking about in now hah!

This is what I have heard too, would it be epoxy resin to seal them back again?

I'm not sure what i used for it now if i'm honest probably silicon, i remember heating the headlight back up with the glue though so it was nice and hot.
