    Just use metho mate with some cotton wool. Its what i used to remove the tint off my old tail lights (only on the reflectors).

    Yeah, but that will work. Dont tint the reflectors though when you re-tint the lights.

    Yeah, like Dylan said, just tape up the reflectors (and reverse lights?) this way you will have full reverse lighting and you wont get done by the police for reflectors being tinted.

    Actually use nail polish remover, that will work best.

    Use it on all of the lights, but tape the reflectors up before you tint the tail lights again.
