I agree that you would probably have to fully disassemble them, and THOROUGHLY clean them. As soon as they start to delaminate, moisture gets in there with all sorts of debris. It would be a daunting task.
Tinting is FAR easier, and I like the look

there was about a cup of water in each of my lights, and when i squeezed the delamination part, water would move around inside...
it think its only cuz air and water are getting inside...
i tried for about an hour to get them to laminate, using super glue and what not...basically impossible to have it look good

I wouldn't even consider trying it unless they were HORRIBLY delaminated and not worth much anyway.
They're expensive, hard to find, and put together totally different than SE taillights. I think they're sealed with a vulcanizing compound. That would mean they're going to be tougher to pull apart than front corner lights.

mine came apart within 10 min each... stuck together with some clips and a really really really really really really sticky silicon glue tar.... worst stuff ever to work with...
