if you blow a headlight bulb up in your car sometimes it will leave a grime on the inside of the lens. either take them apart and clean them or get some new headlights. they are cheap at a junkyard

I think I'd try warm soapy water...bleach might cloud the lense or eat the glue.

To take off the headlight there are four 10mm bolts, for each headlight. Two right on top, one right underneith the corner lamp, and the last one you have to use a long extension to reach. Its underneith the headlights. If you get a flash ligh and look in there you should be able to see it pretty easy.
