Does anyone else have the same problem?
My eyes get foggy every time it rains...

This is considered normal. Lights are not sealed to allow for pressure differences. However, I have not experienced this with mine since I usually drive in dry weather.

It looks ugly and cheap indeed. Mine has the same. Apparently it’s normal, although I did not have it with my previous cars.

Have had this with multiple cars with high-end headlights (Mercedes and Audi for example). The unit has ventilation to allow moisture to escape. I only really notice this after washing the car thoroughly and it clears quickly.

Have you tried eye drops or consulting with a doctor?

Yes, when you drive to a high-end hotel, you don't want to park in the welcome lane.

I think Porsche has patented this. All the Porsches I have and had have this. Some years ago they replaced the lights but they stopped doing it. Now they say it's normal.

Cool that you also went from a Cayman to a Taycan, I don't think that's very common — myself I had a 2021 Cayman GTS 4.0 PDK, and now I have a 2023 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo instead (initially I actually intended for it to replace my 2014 RS6 Avant, but I quickly found that for me it rather replaced the Cayman, so I sold that instead and bought back the RS6 which I had just sold to a dealership...). To me, the Taycan is 70% Cayman and 30% RS6 :–).

I wonder if it is more common for LED lights because they are much cooler for the same light output?

I think you made a good choice , driving taycan gives me real pleasure but I sometimes miss the loud sport exhaust sound of 718 tough☺
