Default Had my headlights tinted like a moron.

I would like to remove the tint film from my headlights. When i got my windows tinted I also had my headlights done since the place that tinted my windows said it would be fine if i bought HID's, which i did like a moron. Is it possible to remove the film myself or do i need to take it in? If i can do it my self, how can it be done?

Thank you and sorry if you lost any braincells due to level of this stupidity. lol

Can't you just peel it off? Would heat from a hair dryer help?

Can't the moron take it back to the place that installed it for removal?

Some tints are able to be washed off...BUT !!!
It takes some very aggressive chemicals to do that, like...
Lacquer Thinner, Ethyl Ketone, Toluene, others

PROTECT YOUR PAINT, MASK THE BOTTOM OF THE FIXTURE TO ALLOW OVERFLOW TO DIRECTLY DRIP OFF AND AWAY
