Arosa headlight back cover.

I certainly wouldn't scrap the cover, it seals on there for a reason... To keep all water off the roads out. I believe the usual thing to do is drill a hole the diameter of the cables in the cover. No idea if the ballast would fit, I'm guessing not as it's not exactly roomy in them.

I got rid of the back covers cause they had condensation but now they're always 100% bone dry even when raining. However I've made friends with a spider that managed to crawl in the lense...

Which hole? I have an engine cover and full coverage underneath, no gaps, unless you think heat from the engine will harm it which isn't the case. Things are out there for a reason yeah but in my case the covers were trapping moisture in and the lenses were constantly condensated, now I've removed them they're fine..

How do you have full coverage underneath? and with it being enclosed i'm assuming you've blocked up the grills on the front so water and dirt cant get in through them, welded up the gaps down the sides of the bonnet and put a bead of silicone around the lights?

Got them today, used a hole saw and drilled a whole in the back of the cover, the wire harness came complete with a grommet so everything is sealed up good and proper. there was no way you would be able to squeeze the ballast and wiring behind the cover! Hole saw is a must! I used a 23 mm

There's no gaps that lead water directly to the headlamps.... Feel free to come round and check if you're that worried that water will get to the wires. Now if the front of the headlights were open that'd be a different story, but I haven't had a problem since I removed the covers..
