It is, but it's hard to do without damaging or breaking the lens if you have the original Valeo headlights.
Most people stick it in the oven for a bit and then it melts the glue

I dunno, people have only ever said that they put it in the oven. You'll need to take the bulbs etc out so you don't blow them up, but I'd imagine that you'd have it quite hot (maybe gas mark 4-6) for a few mins and keep trying it every so often to see if it'll come off.
