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... Attached image(s)

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.

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

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.
