Default Question for the guys with LS430 retro

i just finished doing my retro and was wondering what cover do you guys use to seal the bulb socket? the original GS cap works but there is a gap around the plug for the bulb, just dont want to get water or moisture in

Ahh, I understand. Yes he is correct they have slightly different diameters since the HID housing uses a plastic twist cap and the non-HID had the rubber bulb surround.

You can use the one from LuxuryMods. But since you dont have HID type, you would need to use a razor blade and cut/modify so you can fit the socket in.
