Its honestly not that hard to take apart your headlights if you take your time and do it right. You'll need a heat gun or at least a hairdryer tho so you can pick your heat points and do it at your own pace. I'll see if I can find the link to the guide I used.

EDIT - Couldn't find the one I used but here's a DIY thread

just curious. but why would someone need to clean the inside of a headlight? if you keep the bulb in 90% of time then you shouldnt be gathering dirt in there. i mean they are sealed to keep water out. and if you dont have bulbs in. well i dunno why you have them.

Depending on the type and quality of bulbs you use, they give off certain amounts of gasses into the housing and over time it will haze up from the inside. Thats why you may see people with yellowed headlight lenses. Aside from that, dirt could slip in while changing a bulb or worse than that, grease and oil. Any of those things combined with the heat caused by the bulb can dirty up the lenses from the inside.

You may also want to try using a bottle brush from the baby section at walmart. It will work for the headlights that dont have the cone in front of the bulb. you can bend the brush to scrub the hard to reach places.
