Default Calling on all projector retrofit guys

Recently installed ls430 projectors inside my HID headlights.

I wanted to ask you guys, since the stock back cover does not fit anymore, what covers do you guys use to protect from water(when washing engine bay) or dust?

Luxury mods sells some and so does retrofit source. They are universal rubber ones you just have measure the opening. I bought the lm ones but have yet to put them on.

I used rubber plumbing boots from home depot. I had to shave down the rubber a lil with a razor so it sat snug in the lil round gap. Paid like $2 no issues... However i am buying the ones mentioned above because my method simply isnt as secure against all dust. There are lil gaps where u lock the bulb in place... I dont have issues with dust but i always dont want any later.





^^^^^^ scratch that lol after going through my photobucket i realized i trashed this method and did something different. I remember now that i couldnt keep those boots secure even with a fitting. This below is how its setup... And the rest is correct no dust or water issues.
