I'm installing the new 914Rubber HID headlights; new to know whether the plastic cover/shell over the front of the HID is supposed to stay or be removed
1st pic shows that cover partially off
2nd pic is the cover on and the end-thingy screwed in...

The cover stays on. It actually helps make them waterproof. There is also a second set included.

It's not HID, it's LED. Completely different tech.

Silly Mark. You do know that neither Jim's or my car have ever been out in the rain right?

Not all have them. I know I put an extra set in with his as I didn't need them.

how do we know when the 2nd set is needed ? Do the original have a wear factor ?
Posted by: Mikey914 Jul 31 2017, 11:04 AM
No wear on this part. They were some extra coated lenses we got and rather than having them sit around on the shelf or get broken I asked Topher to ship them out with orders as he got them out the door. A unannounced bonus.
