Dust in headlights

Anyone got any suggestions how I could clean the inside of my headlights? One of them (somehow) has dust on the inside and it creates a shadow on the headlight beam and secondly, just makes it look like crap at night

take it off ..

put it in the oven (about 75 degrees) the sealant will melt .. you can then pull the clear front plastic off... give it a good clean... put both pieces back in the oven... wait for the glue to melt... put it back together..

Should I splash a bit of olive oil and sprinkle some basil and thyme over it first?

How long approximately does it take to melt the glue to pull it apart and also to remelt it sufficiently to stick back together again?

Or if you don't wanna stick your lights in the oven, try this:

It was written for cleaning out condensation build up, but I don't imagine dust would be any harder to get out
