There are what look like sparkles in the headlight lenses. Hope you can see them in these pics. Does anyone else have them or is this a warranty issue?
the car is an 07, 16 months old and 10k miles
sparkles are inside the lens..

You can buff it out. Start with a cleaner wax and if that does not get it then you might try mild rubbing compound and a buffer. Need to be careful and not hit the paint. If you use the buffer tape the surrounding paint to protect it.

Can't tell from the pic, are they on the inside or the outside. If they are outside, then you should be able to feel them with a fingernail. If inside, then I would say warranty.
The outside surface of the clear headlight cover is a thin layer of harder material to resist (not eliminate) chipping from debris. If you try doing heavy polishing to remove dings, you will remove this coating making the cover more suceptible in the future.
