There're a couple of panels you can take off the backing, but I doubt you'll reach the the entire inside of the lens.

Yes it is sealed, but take the unit out of the car (remove the rubber plug and unscrew the phillips screw) remove the light bulb and then sitck the unit in a sink with soapy water. swill it around inside the lens, and if possible get a small bottle or pipe cleaner and try to clean in side the lens. fluch out with fresh water to get all soap out and let it dry (good tip is to whack it in an oven for an hour on extreamly LOW heat
re-assemble and should be better.
oh yeah this works with the facelift lamp, i have not tried to open my pre-face lift foggy.

Alloy wheel cleaner is quite good for stuff like this too.
