Remove headlights from the car, remove all the bulbs out of the headlight housings, carefully pour Isopropyl Alcohol/Rubbing Alcohol in to the housing and let the Alcohol go around the entire frontal surface (inside), pour out the Alcohol, let the housings dry, put back all the bulbs and reinstall the headlights.

E60 headlights have to be cut open if you want to clean the inside.
look up a DIY on Orion Angel Eyes installation if you'd like to see how to cut the lights open. otherwise cleaning the exterior can be done easily...
