X-pel on headlights and fogs...couple questions.

A couple of things...
First, there is a difference between Xenon and Halogen in terms of heat output. Xenons are cooler than Halogen. This may effect performance over time.
Second, the headlight film from X-Pel is pretty thick and would probably suffer adverse effects with the heat from Halogen headlights over time.
My Armourfend installer used a thinner than X-Pel 3M film on my headlights and I've had no problems with heat issues or rocks. For two and a half years.
