Default Help! opening Headlights on SGT??

Hey guys, This is the first time I am posting a thread so bare with me!
I have trying to get the headlights off my 07SGT because there is a build up of dust and dirt that is noticeable annoying when the lights are on. I think i read somewhere the only way yo remove the headlights completely was to remove the front bumper? This true? AND once i get the headlights out, is it even possible to get behind or take apart the light and clean the dust without breaking the plastic?
I just went to the pepboys and the guy told me that the light housing is sealed and you need a heat lamp of open it up without breaking it? Is there a way around this or will they just pop open?

Im not sure how to add a pic but this link works and shows a pic of what im talking about ANY HELP??

to remove the headlights you need to remove the bumper.
i dont think you can remove the plastic/glass to get into the light itself easily.
is the dirt and dust INSIDE the housing? or is it dirty on the outside?

Yea I just double checked. the dust is definitely on the inside, someone suggested that it could be imperfections or scratches on the outside that is causing the problem, but its not. so i guess i have to either take the light off completely, or try and blow air inside, ill try that tomorrow.
