not sure to be honest.
might be a good idea to ask the place you brought it from

will it come off with paint thinner?

it will come off using thinners, my bro used them on his mk4 golf lights, wouldnt recomend it tho,

1.they look disgracful on mk4 ibiza (unless ur car is black)

2. the thinners could easily destroy your lights as it basically will just eat them as you apply it

dude, I would suggest that if you have to ask whether or not you need to remove the lights to spray them then you probably haven't got the skills to be able to tint them properly.
I don't mean that in a derogatory way - but seriously, if you try to spray them in place you'll end up with overspray all over the back of the car, you'll miss bits and (I'm assuming you will be doing it outside) all sorts of cr*p will land in the paint and ruin it.

When I did my Mini lights (on a black Mini) I used a light dusting of black spray paint followed by a few coats of clear lacquer.
You need to be sure because you'll never get the spray off properly afterwards without ruining the lights.

Here's a pic of the Mini lights...

Don't forget, any tint spray will reduce the amount of light your bulbs emit, leaving you more likely to get tugged by Mr Plod...(believe me, I know!)
