Dust caps are different and LED globes mentioned in the thread won't fit VE.
VE, needs someone to 3D print a slightly deeper (10-15mm) dust cap for it to work. (Which would fit)
VZ low and high beam dust caps are the same as VE High beam dust caps

Manufacturers hate that 3D printing (outside their plants) may becoming a thing... they can't sell mass produced stuff with crazy margins if anyone and everyone can print up a part... Heck, soon, sintered metal printing will be cheap enough for many small businesses to get involved with custome part printing 
Meanwhile in merica, they'll print gun parts cause "constatushon" and "no lockdown"

$100 bucks is a bit steep for a 3d printed cap so if you know someone with a 3d printer that can print for you i wacked this together in my spare time and did a test print to confirm it fits.
this is the highbeam cap i will do the low beam when i get more time
this is the design(.stl) file needed for making the gcode(tool paths) for the 3d printer.
VF HB Cap
the printer will need a print capacity of about 90x90x60.
this should be printed with ABS as it has a higher heat tolerance for under bonnet temps, PLA could be used but i dont know how it would go on a 40deg day driving.
you use the rubber washer off your original cap to make a good seal.
this will give you about 25mm more clearance but you have the design file and you can increase that if needed.

HID work great in the projector light, the ones with the ballast built into the replacement dust cap. 4500k is plenty & still white light, correct adjustment is both beneficial to you and other road uses.

um. A little bit of wee just came out.
I can’t believe you did that. That is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on this forum. You just designed something like that!
In 10years, I need a water pump not made anymore. Don’t worry, here’s a file to 3D metal print one.
