I would suggest using a precut layover film, like a window tint but thicker. However, if you're dead set on removing them, here's the DIY:

i have tint film i got from rotaryfx.com
i took it to a local shop and they were gonna charge $147!!
so i sold my tints to a friend with an rx8 who was willing to spend that much on his car.
I went to Advanced Auto Parts and purchased VHT nightshades tinting spray and saw many videos on youtube of people tinting their taillights.
I made $10 dollars more than i paid for, for the tints from my friend, i bought one can of the tinting spray for $12.99, $9 micro fiber pads, and some magueirs ultimate compund ($14). I had some 2000 grit sand paper in my garage along with a few other things i need for the process.
So i made $10 off the film and spent $36 on materials, but since i made $10 lets say i spent $26
In all i spent $26 instead of $147
i think it was a smart decision
