The US DOT headlight had a plastic "trim" that went around the entire light leaving the headlight/lens/reflector exposed. The European version has a glass lens covering the entire headlight. The "trim" piece (or door) on these DOT lights is old and cracked and needs replacement. The glass lens headlight is fine and present in both light buckets as well as the fog light portion. Why it is called a "door" is anyone's guess. I have attached a picture.
