Anyway to clean inside of headlight?

My left headlight is dirty on the inside, because I think the previous owner of my car only changed the other one (rightly so, headlights are $$$$$$$) and they look extremely different from each other.
It has dirt and I think a dead misquito lol, and I'm wondering if its worth it to take it out of the socket and just somehow clean it?
Does it open or anything?
I suppose if that stuff got in, it definitely had an entrance route so I guess I can try to find it.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

the only way to actually clean the inside is to take apart the headlight... which requires removing the bumper, signal lights, grill (2.5 only), and removing the reinforcement bar...

After awhile the inside of the headlight gets dirty thus makes the light beam pattern uneven.
What I did was this,
I made a big cotton swap using a chopstick and a cotton.
I used Alcohol rub because it evaporate quickly and wont leave marks.
This will be a tedious and time consumong process so be prepare.
