Answer
    As far as I know this headlight assembly does not come apart.  You could clean it, however, by taking it out of the car and removing the bulb.  Reach in through the hole where the bulb goes and clean it with a rag or sponge on the end of a stick.  I have done this, it's not a big deal.  Why is it dirty in there?  Are you sure the dirt isn't really UV damage to the outside of the lens?
