2008-2010 Cayenne headlight lens material - glass or plastic?

What material is the headlight lens on a 2008-2010 Cayenne made of? Is it plastic or glass?

Was just wondering since I have the headlight protection film on there, but noticed a hazy spot on the lens or film where the main HID beam hits. Anybody ever experience this?

I'm guessing it's plastic just like it is on previous generation Cayennes.

I haven't experienced any haziness on my Cayenne's lens. I wonder if it's on the film...

Thanks for the responses! I'm hoping its just the film

I'll post an update once I get around to swapping out that film.

My guess is probably due to oxidation. I know one of vendors here sell a kit to restore headlights. Personally, I never had this problem so I have 0 experience with it.
