I don't think you can remove the lense,,its all one part,,you will have to buy new ones ,,and you may have a crake somewhere if dirt is getting to the inside,,, :headscratch:

make sure the cover is completely screwed on in the back where your bulb is located.

Yes, as stated, the headlamp assembly is one molded unit, and you can't access the inside of the front cover. As 2937 says, you should check the rear cover to insure that it's on securely.

Have you ever noticed any condensation/fog on the inside of the front cover? If you have, that would indicate there is somesort of opening in the HL assembly.

Pictures would help unless its fine dust. I just cant see dust on the inside of the lense unless the bulb has been out. Take the assembly out and try to blow it out with a air compressor (with an inline filter) and see if you can get it out that way. Inspect the assembly while its out. Has the front end ever been disassembled that you know of? Bodyshop, dealership, etc.
