... and I also replaced the covers with universal rubber dust shields.

More info on those, please.

I installed the OPT7 Fluxbeam set. They included the required CANBUS resistors. Did not have to remove headlamps, and I also replaced the covers with universal rubber dust shields.
Work great and no issues.

Thanks for the link.

Any details on the universal dust shields that you fired on your bike?

A much clearer question than what I asked. I�d really like to know more about the dust covers before I start modding the factory covers.

You have to cut out the center of the rubber covers as the new bulbs are longer and protrude through the cover. This also helps the bulb ventilate better. Also you can run the wiring through the rubber cover as well. The resistors and connectors have to be mounted under the fairing as there is very little space in the actual headlamp housing.

You could cut the OEM covers as well, but the rubber covers are cheap and a little easier to work with.

I am beginning to think that these "rubber covers" are more like unicorns --- I'm still waiting to see a picture of one, or a link to where I can get one.

Pics weren't showing the first time I looked at you post there. I can see them now. Thanks.
Where did you buy them? Link?

Just Google "70mm/72mm headlight dust caps" and you will get relevant results for your region.

I would look for 70mm first because 72mm are not tight fitting and you will need to widen the "collar" of the housing where they fit on.
You could opt to just glue them fixed but then you can't re-open anymore..
70mm will be a tighter fit, but for some reason 72mm seems to be a standard in the generic dust cap land..
