i think you 're stuck with it.
if you try thinner and go too far through the paint, it will make the plastic go a white frosted texture.
it's going to be so much trouble and work you'd be better off buying more from a scrappy

Just watch as some solvent based cleaners etc will 'fog' the plastic. Methanol, and other alcohol based ones should be fine but dont go near anything like acetone or propanone, it'll eat you lights for breakfast.

@giffy - then leave them alone, they look good, or swap with someone for a set of normal ones etc. I'd swap but im up in Scotland!
