Hey so I got my mustang back in the beginning of December and the headlights have been bugging me. They're dinged up here and there and a little pitted. They are still crystal clear but the surface has all these blemishes on it. Any advice on a product or method that will help with my problem? Here's a picture of what I'm dealing with...

Depends how bad the pitting / dents are. If they are not too deep, you can sand down the headlights and buff them back to a perfect finish. Shoot some clearcoat over it for added bonus.

Otherwise, in terms of "filling" in the little pits, I don't think it's worth it (or at least I don't know of an easy way to do it).

Autogeek sells headlight restoration kits. It's basically a glass/headlight polish along with an attachment for a cordless drill and a small foam buffing pad.

You can pick up a new set for about $50 on here.

PS: Your lights are so pitted bro, so pitted.

If you get them fixed, or get new ones, invest in getting them lamin-x'd. Same thing as getting the clear shield done too them too. Most online vendors will sell that stuff at a reasonable price.
