Id say sand them. I had to do that to mine after i got booked for them. it takes some time though. Wet sand them with 2000 grit sand paper. Just remember theyr guna b hazy after so Clear and buff them too

you can try nail polish remover.

straight acetone ... and just wash them real good ... but then you will need to buff and polish them back to a shine once all of it is removed.

vht sells some type of product that removes the tint, just search through their products.

idk about nail polish remover or just strait acetone. in my experience with it, it seems to fuck up the plastic really bad. Im wondering... Ive heard of Oven cleaner removing paint off of lexan. i know the lights aint lexan but would it work? im curious now...
