Yeah Craig. Any of that type of aftermarket dust cover would more than likely work.But in saying that. That area of the back of the lights is pretty well sealed away.As most new cars there days, there is not a great deal of room between the back of the light fitting & the car.I needed to do my wifes 2015 Kia Cerato headlights a cpl of weeks ago. The passenger side I could only just fit my hand in.
Scott, They look like a better adaptor clip than what's available for the GD's.Any pictures of them fitted

Just thought i would give a quick update on the cherry tuning LEDS headlights. Not too bad so far, have all bulbs changed over, and whiter light compared to halogen bulbs. Mine are most probably a cheap chinese variant, but they work, covers go on. Longest drive i have done in dark is 1.5 hours with no issues. They are a different fit compared to Purplehazeffc as shown below
800W and 80000Lm might want my sunnies on for them
Aldi has these : 7" Osram Chip Driving Lights and 22" Osram Chip Bar Light Set - ALDI Australia
Now they are different to what I have.. Photo's is possible of whit the rear of the bulb looks like??Like what type of heatsink design it has.But once you fit the LED's & the whiter light. It's would be pretty hard to go back to halogens..I do have these ordered from eBay. Rather than being 2 sided. They are 4 sided.. H7 CREE LED Car Headlight Hi or Low Beam Conversion Kit Bulbs 6500K 800W 80000LM | eBaySo should in theory give a better & brighter type of light. I don't use my high beams a great deal.But will get some LED's for them as well'

Meanwhile with halogen bulbs, you have that and it leads to a better lighting out pattern.
The JW Speaker Evolution 4000 are two sided at a right angle. Designed especially for protectors their ad says. So I don't know. You Tube wisdom says firing in opposite directions is better.Regarding my purchase of JW Direct Fit, if the bulb is all one piece I might be able to mod the adapter to slip it round. One cut and twist might do it.

Curious, probably mentioned somewhere, If these beasties have fans on the rear, how does it circulate fresh/cool air in a sealed unit?

Good question Mick, of which I cannot answer. Flux capacitor?? Also bear in mind the canbus/ballast resistor inside which warms up nicely too. Seems to work though
Just thinking that halogen get f-ing hot , have no fan.Led brighter, same voltage, less current used so ballast resistor increases load to trick faulty globe detection, does heat then equal or exceed original values?Given light is a by-product, do led produce more or same heat but draw less current due to its material composition?

Mick, some info here How hot are LED light bulbs? ? LIFX.com explains some of the differences between halogen vs LED temperatures, not specifically on auto but covers general differences.Auto differences referred to in this link How hot do LED headlight bulbs get? - Better Automotive Lighting
