Default Taillight tint removal?

When I purchased my car the previos owner put smoke film on the taillamps and turn signal lenses.I want to remove it but am wondering if it comes right off,or does it mess up the lens?It doesn;t look bad,but my car is ppw and it kinda looks old school.Thanks for the help, Steve.

if its paint, it needs to be sanded off, then the lense needs to be cleared, and buffed.

If its vinyl, it needs heat and wd40 to be removed, then a buff will suffice.
