Goo-gone. Works wonders. Does take a while. Could also try heating it up with a heat gun. Just be careful not to melt it or scorch the paint.

I would avoid the heat gun- you would be asking for it. I have seen where vehicles were across the street from a house fire and the paint was blistered and the rear lenses were melted.

remove them with a heat gun so that most of the glue come with the strip.

then any degreaser to remove the remaining of the glue. (castrol purple stuff or any other heavy duty/industrial degreaser you can find at any home hardware.
goo-gone is a degreaser

+ 1. This will work as well. And a heat gun works fine as long as you don't put it on the highest setting and don't hold it there too long.
