Default What to remove tail light tinting spray?

Ok ok I'm a tit. I decided my runabout would look better with tinted tail lights but looking at it now I've realised I was completely wrong and the wife is shouting at me for being a bit stupid. Need to get it off sharpish.

Any suggestions or am I going to buying a pair of new tail lamps?

Sell them to some dinlow chav and then buy a set of standards

it can be removed as someone near me did it to his modded st170, realised it looked shit and removed it a few days later. He probably just use white spirit? or something. Dont know him so I aint gonna ask him
