    Default Rubber dust caps

    I have somehow missed the boat on these rubber dust caps. I've got LEDs in my low beams and the stock dust caps don't fit. I looked around before and apparently missed these as a potential solution. So they are just open. Sometimes I get a lot of moisture in there. Has anyone used this type of rubber dust cap plug? I see ones that cover all, and some that allow the heatsink to come out through a hole in the middle.

    NICE! Is 90MM the size needed for our cars? I have an HID I kit I bought 5 years ago and never installed because I didn't want to break what worked.

    I meant to measure one of my dust caps last night but got distracted by other things. I also need to take a closer look and get a feel for what kind of shape would work best. I think I'd prefer a plug that leaves the heatsink exposed. Granted that will prevent a perfect seal, but it'll still be a lot better than what I have now.

    If you could cut it small enough it may seal up. Seeing that I hardly drive mine and NEVER in wet weather, I don't think I'd have as much of an issue.

    They fit just fine and I haven't had any hint of condensation yet.

    His link was to the 100mm size. GOOD TO KNOW, as I have a set of Morimoto HID lows en route from The Retrofit Source. Add them to the list of stuff to do to the car when the dust (or sawdust as the case may be) settles.

    Good to know. I was wondering about these myself considering I didnt want to cut anything on my stock caps. I have an expensive HID kit Ive been wanting to install but the caps were holding me back
