Get a heat gun and try it.

That's the best way to find out.

I've looked at them before to remove them, and from what I could see they can be seperated, but I didn't spend much time on that thought; I just cut the whole reflector part out for something else.

One thing to watch out for...or two rather..or three.

1) make sure the wires are long enough to switch them around (my memory says no)
2) you will need to bake the lights to get the moisture out after doing this or risk fogging up all the time
3) the angle of the lights is very important, especially for SAE compliance. Due to how the bulbs are set up this could cause issues.
