everyone??!! get smarter friends
heat- hair dryer/heat gun,,,soften the glue and remove tint
goo gone will remove residue,,maybe rubbing alchohol
claybar and plastic polish should repair surface damage from gas

Replace the tail lights & don't look back.
Restricted (brake) light output isn't worth the risk.

if headlight lens/plastic polishing kit on a drill doesnt restore to like new,
then replacements are the way to go

Yeah rubbing alchol took off alot of it it is dull now and there is still quite a bit of tint left its pretty awful looking im gonna try my old headlight polishing kit and if that doesn't work im gonna use goof off graffiti remover if that doesn't work well then im screwed and instead of headers i buy tail lights...

ck junkyards / auto dismantler and recyling for good taillights

heat gun/hair dryer and some mayonaise-no kidding- rubbed on offending stuff
that gets bumper stickers off,,
might work in this case--heat and oil softens the glue,,razor blade gets under an edge- then its peel and pull

Chk. ebay for used lights. Ask for good pics to verify no cracks or tint, etc.
