Default How to remove Rockblocker film off headlights?

Has anyone taken these off before?
I'm thinking of buying STi headlights from a guy on here, but he has yellow Rockblockers on them - which I don't really like.
Can it even be done without damaging the lights?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I peeled rockblocker off of my side mirrors with a heat gun, no problem. It left a little residue on and laquer thinner took it right off.

I've heard rumors that the heat from headlights over time bonds the film to the headlights and makes them almost impossible to get off. Dunno if it's true though. Let us know.

Lacquer thinner would haze the lenses probably.
