Is there a way I can get the stuff used to blackout the tail lights off? Or will I have to get new ones. I bought the car with it already done.

You can sand them with 120 grit to get it off then do the polishing on them. . . should only take 2-3 days, or buy a set used.

I would think paint thinner could get them of them get some plast-x to polish them..

120 will scratch it to much n laquer thinner might start to melt the plastic use 220 then 400 and just reclear them

220 to remove, step up to 400, then to 800, then wetsand with 1000 then 2000 grit. They use some rubbing compound (3m is good) and a towel and just buff it by hand. If you take your time it shouldnt take you more than 2-3 hours.

what murderedout said is what you should do and it shouldnt take too long at all..you could even buy the 3M headlight lens restorer kit to do it

sand them with 320grit then 600grit and reclear them and be done with it.........

Yeah because clearing over a rough 600 grit surface will definitely make them not blurry or fuzzy. NOT

Dont clear them, its not necessary whatsoever. Unless your just looking for a way out of wet sanding and using rubbing compound.

Even if you clear them its good to wet sand and use rubbing compound after they dry (if your using rattle can). Not to mention some rattle can clear is known for yellowing after a couple years in the sun. Not worth it.

yeah your right... not.

ive just cleared about hundred sets of tail lights and head lights, so i think i know what im talking about.

I would start at 360 or so and work you way up through the grits. Then heavy cut, light cut, and polish, and some good wax. They will look brand new!
