The two rubber boots/caps should have been included with your kit.

Ok, this answers my question. I do not have those. I took my headlight apart and installed the projectors, but couldn't find how to attach everything behind the headlight because I seem to be missing that, so now I'm without low beams. I have to call TRS and have them mail me the boots if that's the case.

Ok, TRS is sending me the rubber cap. I knew something was missing! :P

I just installed, and at the very end realized that my kit was missing the rubber boot too! Their shipping them today. Too bad it was the very last step. I've had my car in pieces for several days now. Between celebrating the holidays and cutting up the old halogen projector to make a new custom drl housing, it's taken me forever. Always seems to be the case when I take on a project!

Finally! Mad props and millions of thanks to @civicdrivr for his assistance today! Found out TRS sent me some extra wiring for the bulb that was confusing me! It's all good now!

To help out, I took some pictures during the install to supplement the DIY.
They show the orientation of the bulb and spring, grommets and some wiring tips.

I'll add those pics to the main post once in back on my computer, if you're cool with that.

@raul - Looks like the passenger side beam can come up just a bit to be in line with the driver side.

That's why I took them in the first place. Feel free to resize them as you see fit and such. Glad to help others.

Whoever's done this, can you answer what this extra stuff is that came in each projector box? Or the nut behind the projector lamp mounting bracket (which just doesn't seem to serve any purpose)? Nobody has mentioned any of this in any guides I've seen.

The top four items I know what to do with. The screws and other things seem useless, but then why would they be included?

Edit: Also, should I have gotten 4 bulbs, or just 2? There are 4 bulb holes total, and I only got 2 bulbs. I'm assuming I use the OEM bulbs for the inside lights (high beams/DRLs? I don't even really know what the inside ones are for...), but then they won't match the other headlights.
