Keep the hot air gun moving all the time around the headlight so you get even heat to melt the glue.

Re: CLEAR HEADLIGHT INDICATOR LENS SETS - £48. All incl.
When I did mine the light wouldn't go into my oven so I used a hot air gun to warm the glue after about 10 minutes the glue softened allowing me to part the light.
Then used the hot air gun to soften the glue enabling to put the headlight back together.

You can buy fuses in any motor discount store, but it has to be the same rating as the fuse you took out.
Take the blown fuse with you to the shop and they should be able to help you
