That sucks bro...

I don't think there is much to be done to bring them back to stock... maybe sell them for some cash to ease the price of some new ones... I just think that any type of solvent/striper will haze or be to abrasive on the plastic... just my .02

i'm not sure if u wanna use the paint thinner on it. You can get a new set of depot lights for like 200 both right and left. try going to a body shop and see what they recommend.

NO paint thinner!!! It will melt the polycarbonate and damage it.

Try using some VERY dilluted acrysol or the like. Work with minimal pressure against the lens. Chances are you might just need to buy a new set.

Yeah that would've looked horrible on your red car.

I have seen some citrus paint stripper. Maybe that would work. I can't see why something made out of oranges would hurt the lenses.

citrus is a good cleaner but just be careful. It does contain acidic concentrate.

i used niteshades on my civic headlights and it looked like shit. so i took it off with acrysolve (which is basically laquer thinner). they looked brand new. but afterwards you might want to polish them just to be sure. i used mothers chrome polish on my headlights. they come out pretty nice.

you could put eyelids on. And then your car would look like it has hepatitis.

Paint thinner worked fine on my fogs. It didn't melt or cloud them any.
