Ticket for blacked out tail-lights

[incipio]

Just got a ticket last night in MD for having the blacked out taillights and reverse lights.

I used nightshade to tint them - what kind of chemical should I use to put them back to their original state?

i heard brake cleaner works, but I would double check

be very careful with it but proper application of acetone will do it

You may need to buff the lights out after you apply a chemical to them.

I heard paint thinner. Never tried it myself though

Dont use paint thinner, you will melt your plastics. Just pick up an extra set of tails at a junk yard or something.

Else = sand it off with like 800 grit and move to finer stuff once you get the paint off, finishing with 2000 and buffing it after that. You can use meguire's headlight restorer to buff it back.

Ended up sanding them down and leaving the sides black... Looks alright.
