   Can you Remove Tint On Your Rear Lights As I Have Tinted My lexus Lights And They Just Look Misty? And Steamed Up? Also The Standard Ones Bubbled? Any Other Way Apark From Sanding?
   
   Thanks,

   paint stripper or white spirits dont use them they smudge it, you can get something from the chemist that does it not sure of the name it was recomended to me, i found something which is awesome and does just the job you get it from your local bulding centre and its called 'ever build pvc solvent remover' comes in a 1litre bottle and with a spray top it realy is that good

   antistatic cleaner for plastic might do it.. thinners will melt the plastic too so dont use that.. u could try tinting them more but im guessing they are dark and cloudy now..

    you can get tint spray remover, try the folia tec site. you can use thinners on the standard lights as i did and it worked sweet, but i wouldnt recomend using it on the lexus as it may melt them or make them white/misty
