Joel use a good wax,like Mothers etc.And use a buffer[but don't get cared away with the buffer]my 89 Mustang headlights looked like what yours do and they cleared up very nicely with the wax and buffer.

The headlights are plastic I believe. That will happen to plastic over time and the only thing to do would be to replace it.
If the were glass, that would not happen..

They can be polished out. I have an 89 Mustang. The earlier body headlights are notorious for getting yellow and hazy. Basically any mild abrasive will work. A lot of Stang people have used a variety of products. Fine cut rubbing compound, any of the wheel metal polishes (Mothers etc), super fine wet/dry sandpaper. It does not take a lot of elbow grease. The difference is amazing. Then hit them with a coat of wax.

Any good polishing compound brings them back; but they will yellow again with time. It's UV radiation. Easier to polish them a few times a year than replace them, much cheaper.
