While we're on the topic of E-codes, does anybody have a good suggestion for headlight lens protectors? I lost my right headlight because of road debris, knocked a good pin-sized hole through the glass. A new set of Hellas from the same site Dave got his are on its way.

Reviewing the photos, I would agree. Cutting the inner headlight assembly is not necessary for the Hella Ecodes. It was necessary for the other lights we had. Thanks for pointing that out. I would not worry about water getting in the engine compartment. Plenty already does from below and through the radiator area.
I know you can get a plastic film that helps protect the glass lens. I need to find a source.
