it's weird that the inside would be dirty. unless the headlight is leaking air or so dust shouldn't be gathered inside as easy. you sure it's not the outside? how did you do the scratch removal? sand paper? you know a good way to see if it's outside or inside. get some water, put some soap solution in it (tiny little, so it does wash away as fast), put the water solution on the headlight. does it become clear now? if so, it's the outside. if not, it's probably the inside.

taking the lens apart is hard, coz' it's fully sealed. you can get a heatgun to pry it open, but i don't suggest that coz' you probably won't be able to seal it back good

you welcome. try it and let us know. if it's really the outside surface, you can try put on xpel stuff. they protect your headlight from rock chips, and it makes the surface shiny again
