Looking for headlight rear covers

My wife has a 2003 Boxster with standard (non HID) headlights. Someone has drilled holes in the back plate cover of both sides (highlighted #7 in diagram below; though I know the diagram is the HID version). I'm trying to put them back to stock, if anyone has a set of the back covers, possible from some roached headlights? Pelican doesn't sell them separately. Thanks!

You can buy them new from Sunset Porsche for about $11 each. Make sure you tell them you have non xenon lights, as the HID version is different.

They likely had some illegal LED bulbs in there. They are longer than stock so people put a hole in the back of the cover to accommodate the longer bulb housing. Then they blind everyone on the road! I've seen it many times.
