Is PPFing the headlights ok?

[engineer]

Does anyone know if there's official guidance from Ford on putting PPF on the headlights? I know some companies (e.g. Porsche) will void your headlight warranty if you put PPF on them due to excess heat.

Curious if the same thing applies to Ford.

I've never seen anything related to warranty refusal for PPF. I don't know that excess heat would be an issue since it shouldn't be opaque enough to gather heat or thick enough to insulate it...LEDs don't produce enough forward heat if anything. A good PPF should barely be detectable on there anyway.

I think the issue with some auto manufacturers and PPF on headlights is delamination of the coating. If properly removed, it shouldn't remove the headlight coating from what I've seen. I've had them PPF'd on the last few sets and ceramic coated the PPF.

I’ve never heard of any issues.

I've had mine done for 5 years, no issue

Shouldn't happen. Have ours wrapped and no problem.

Thanks for the feedback everyone--full speed ahead with having mine PPF'd!

no issues that I've ever heard of. PPF is a must!

I did mine. Not a concern.

I have my Gen3 headlights and entire truck wrapped. Have had no issues. Love me some PPF

I believe the real issue is it could cause delamination when you try to remove it, so that should be a consideration.
