    Hey guys. Just switched out my headlights for LED bulbs. Maybe a dumb question but can I leave off the dust covers or do you find they are necessary to keep? I was also surprised to find that I had to remove the whole front end to replace them. Wasn’t too bad though. C586E370-ECF9-495D-AAB3-CC09DB756C9E.jpgAA5E05CE-74B3-4DD1-AAFC-C22D063E4591.jpg

    If I understand what you're talking about, you'll want to keep the rubber dust covers that behind the bulb to keep moisture and stuff out. If your LED bulbs stick out the back too much you can always trim the rubber a bit to get them to fit around
