My guess would be that it is held on by an adhesive. Heat it up and pry GENTLY. Someone else with actual glass headlights might be able to help better.

Here is the baking recipie for plastic headlights. Might work for glass ones. Check that the sealant is black.

Pre-heat the oven to 200-220F
Make sure your lights are clean
Make sure that four of the clips that keep lens and housing are off
Place your headlight on a cookie pan
Turn off the oven
Place cookie pan with your light inside
Wait 5-8 minutes for headlights to fully heat
Gently pry the lens off the housing with something wide, like table knife
If not coming off, try heating longer
You can do up to 250F and 10min

Mine worked after 8 minutes at 220F. Your lens is glass, so be careful, not to crack. Also the housing if fairly brittle, but repairable.

Good luck.
