Default what to take primer off glass

I was doing some work on the stang today and I noticed that there is some overspray (primer) on the right headlight, and looks like a lil on the highbeam as well... will rubbing alcohol take that off? I guess when the previous owner had it painted (looks like MAACO work) they didnt mask stuff off too well...

Taking a buffing compound for paint and just rub it off glass. Then just clean the window with windex really good.

If primer acts like regular paint which I think it does, hit it with some acetone (aka fingernail polish remover). That should take it off

I think it would be a good time to upgrade if they're the stock crap

If they're glass a razor blade will work fine too.
