Default Anyone know what I can use to remove black caulking without removing the paint on my car?

Recently Iconverted my 2 piece halogens on my 98.5 to the 1 piece xenons from a 2001 S4 , which of course requires some fener trim. The rough edges of the fender trim were bothering me so I filled that gap between the fender and corener lens with a thin snooth layer of black caulking (so you cant see the rough fender trim and because caulking material is heat resistant to 1220 f.) anyways I got just a slight bit of the caulking (and it dryed) onto both the area outside of the inner fender..you know right onto the body behind the lights and a little bit on the upper part of the housing of the lights. Anyone know what I can use to safely remove it without causing any damage to my paint or the light housings

thank you
