1:18 Police Light Bars

I am customizing some 1:18 police cars and would like to know if there is a way to remove the coloring from the light bar lenses. For example, I have a red/blue light bar and would like to strip them to recolor and make correct for a specific police agency. Below is an example of a UT models 1:18 light bar that came off of a Las Vegas Metro PD Caprice I wish to color change.



Any help or advice is appreciated.

Nail Polish Remover, just make sure it dosnt have acetone in it, that's what kills plastic.

Just put non-acetone nail polish remover on a Q-Tip, and wipe away...
