Xpel Slate 50% PPF Headlights tint & taillight.
Headlights protected against rock chips, Taillight was already gray so it's not noticable, but its protected against marring

Rear reflectors blacked out with tinted PPF, Stek DynoSmoke

I have bad night vision and I don't notice any difference with headlight illumination.

Is there a heat risk to the headlight (trapped heat)? I suppose LEDs don't give off much, but thought I'd ask.

I have some pits in my headlights from it's first 500 miles of life in Arizona and it annoys me to no end. Same with the windshield but funny enough, not much on the paint or trim (I suppose Porsche paint is tough).

On a side note, how well do your side markers fit (how flush are they)?

Heat is not a problem. I had 5% on the RS E-Tron GT, no issues, no pits and it peeled right off without damaging tht headlight.

From the factory, one side was flush, the other wasn't.
Now both are not flush after the replacement

Porsche paint is thick. Mine was between 8 10mil.

In terms of the windshield, I will just focus on the pits when driving. I PPFed mine before driving it

That doesn't look flush in the back :)

I think mine are similar... let me grab some photos.
