With some paint thiner it should come off. I wouldn't do it I took of my tint because someone ripped off one of the tints from one of my tailights. This week I am planning on tinting just the white turn signal part. Try that its flat .

Spray them, or ship it to me I'll spray them for $50 you pay shipping both ways. Just let me know what's the best tint color for you. I don't have a meter to read 20% but we'll eyeball it. I mean they'll both be even with even coats Just depends how many coats I have to put on. I don't recommend to go too dark.

Look for my DIY's

Ok up to you. I would prep your lights so the pray tint will come off with 1800psi pressure washer and a little time.....obviously you would take them off the car when doing this. Good luck.

So would you guys recommend a precut film over a window tint with an adhesive side?

No pre cut sucks! Just go to walmart buy static cling tint a roll for $10. Window tint is garbage LOL it flew off in a few hours and it was a bitch to install.
