you put paint stripper on plastic taillights?
if so its not dried stripper you are seeing its the "melted" plastic.
if its on the entire taillight you need to just buy new ones. if its on just part then you can try sanding down to where the stripper didnt penetrate to.

You should have just removed the tail lights takes about 1 min... but if it has 'sat' on the taillights overnight what you are most likely seeing is melted plastic.
If its not too horribly deep then you might be able to sand out. Otherwise you will have to buy a new set. Thats an expensive lessson!!
