Default how to remove paint off a headlight?

i just got a 98 integra, the previous owner painted the high beams side yellow and im just not into that, i wanna make it back to the way it was but im afraid using a thinner might just mess up the original coating and all. im not too smart with sandpaper and buffing and stuff but if anyone knows ill try it out!! thanks!!
