I'm not sure but I think it's siliconed on, in which case a heat gun or hair dryer would melt it, then you just pry gently to pull it off.

I'd worry about warping it in the oven, IIRC it's not as robust as the headlights.
I know Harbor Freight has a $10 heatgun on sale sometimes.. totally worth the money I've used mine a lot.

Go buy a heat gun, if you try cutting it off with a dremel you're going to ruin it.

this man is correct. you have to dremel the black piece of the bezel out and then silicone it back in. just take your time and be careful.
