If they are FG, then they shouldn't melt, just heat them up and either use fishing line to loosen them, or just pry slowly until they come off

just use a fishing line or dental floss using the saw motion back and forth to break the 3m tape.. and use hairdryer instead of heatgun since u said it's bubbling

just becareful not to scratch ur headlights

thats what i did with my eyelids a while back... heat it up just enough to get the 3m hot.. then use fishing line, dental floss.. etc.. and it will come right off, then buy a good polish for the headlight if your not going to keep it on there cuz' your lights will have a 'sun tan' from the eyelids.. lol
