Bosch Euro H4 headlight dust boot?

My new in the box Bosch Euro H4 headlights didn't come with a rubber dust boot for the opening where the bulb is, shouldn't there be one?

I don't see much dust in the area behind the light but you just know whatever gets in there is going to end up in the headlight. And I've never seen a halogen headlight without a dust boot, so I wondered. I feel a lot better now.

Thanks Pete!

Maybe porsche was cutting down weigh! but you hardly get dust in seriously yes some dust does go in but i always air blow the reflectors. mine are 27 years old and yes it's and everyday car and its still bright but i dont use high power halogen lamps and have switched over to hid.

Yeah I asked the same (three years ago) when I received my headlights, it's a strange omission.
