Default headlight repair/cleaning

i have a 99 accord sedan.

the driver's side headlight is coated with dust/dirt inside (on the reflective surface).

this makes it considerably less bright (than the other headlight, which looks brand new).

are there any good tutorials on how to open up my headlight , so i can clean it out?

or does anyone have any other tips?

that not a lot of work.. all you need to do is take off your headlight. turn on the oven on for about 300 degree and wait about 15 min befor putting the headlight in, and then after you place in the headlight turn off the oven and wait about 7-10min, after that done take a screw driver and pray it out GENTALY and i am guessing it should pop out.

(this is what i have read/learn around honda-tech so i am not really sure if it correct but it worth a try)

OH and when you put everything back on.. i am guessing put it back in the oven for about 5 min take it out and press on the headlight so the silicon would be stick to it, meaning so water other stuff cant get in.
