Default cleaning headlamp insides

I bought a 96 camry a while back, and it has a yellowish tint on the inside of the headlamps. I think water may have gotten inside of them and tainted the color. I want to pull off the covers, I pulled off the clips and it looks like they should just pop off. I tried to pry a little and they didn't budge. Anyone know if they're glued on or if perhaps there is a screw somewhere I missed? Thanks

im pretty they are glued for the reason to keep water out and the clips are there just to reinforce them but i could be wrong, y not just buy new headlamps

my friends supra looked like he had some yellowish film inside his headlight....
all he did was took off his headlight,
ran water on them and used a very very very fine piece of sandpaper on it, to clean them
and the result was that there was no yellow stuff on the inside, it was just dirty as hell on the outside.
i dont remmeber all he did but thats all i remember him doin. l
ook for a "HOW TO" someone might have posted it there?
