Are you sure it's the inside that needs cleaning? AFAIK you can't take that cover off. But here's a few threads on how to clean/refinish the outside...

***if there is damage/dirt on the inside, that would imply a damage to the seal...leading to a possible necessary replacement of the entire headlight unit....

I cant say for the starter of this thread but I myself played around with the headlights. I was constantly opening and removing them from the car to do things. Ex/ Fog light, low beams. Now the interior is filled with dust and dirt. Anyone willing in giving some directions into removing the lens from the housing?
