So my left tail light got ruined, I had to re-order another light. This weekend I'm about to re-do my tint that I did with VHT. I want both sides to be even so I'm going to start all over and start off new.

Anybody that has DONE this before, what is the best way to take off the existing clear and VHT?

 

ive never had good experience with VHT i let a body shop do mine 3 years ago and they still look good as new

 

Yeah, but I don't have the money right now to get them done professionally. So I'm stuck right now. Heck, who knows, if I'm able to take off all the VHT and Clear safely I might just keep it that way.

 

I used acetone I believe when I re-did mine. If you decide to keep em with no tint you will have to buff them.

 

Will the Acetone make the lights "cloudy"?

 

my friend just used gas on his and it came off with a little scrubbing...but yea dude keep em red till u can get em professionally done...they shouldnt charge more then 100$ and tell them to not go to dark

 

lacquer thinner

 

^ this

 

So just get lacquer thinner and a rag and go to town?

Will it leave my lights all cloudy or will they look just like stock with no residue on them?

 

i havent done it yet but im gonna do it either tomorrow or this weekend. il keep you updated. i didnt clear mine so im thinking it will come off easier.

 

yes sir, I did my own lights almost two years ago with vht and they look great still, the biggest thing to know is you need to sand the lights lightly, and use clear coat to ensure the vht doesn't even have a chance to chip.

 

Awesome. Let me know

That's what she said

lol wut?

 

Bump for more suggestions.

I heard that 3m Adhesive remover works well + Headlight Restoration Kit

 

It might but if you wax them with a plastic polish it should shine right back up
