i take it you already have the glass... vw dont supply it seperately.

with the original lights, people often put them in the oven on a very low heat to soften the glue that holds the glass on, then it simply pulls off. not something that i'd want to risk myself.. and im not sure if aftermarket angeleyes are up to the task.
