Nice! Looking good.
I had the same issue with my headlights (both sides because my ic piping), it's a pretty east fix, the problem with not addressing it is the engine lift via every rev/wot pull and worst....your headlight's beam will jump all over the place going nuts in conjunction with the engine idle/rev and or looks like it's flickering, on it's way out. I even had people stop me to let me know about my headlight lol.
You'll take the headlight cap, mark the spot being hit, consider for the motor jumping up and down and cut that part out completely. Because of the design the cap water seal lip sits out the furthest so you may lose the seal/seal lip/seal cavity, don't worry cut that out/off. You'll notice on your picture of the cap, there's an 'inside recess/cavity", which is the part your plug is set in, when you make the new seal the new seal will sit inside the inside cavity against the inside wall of the main body of the headlight.
To address the hole in your cap you go on E-Bay/Amazon get a ~1mm thin/~16G 12"x12" sheet of black plastic for $8. You'll cut little squares/pieces and plastic weld the hole shut using zip ties as soldier. To get a seal again, on that inner indented cavity/pocket, along the newly made inside new lip you created, you use this stuff: (note this is a generic pic for visual reference, the stuff I use is small, I actually go to an auto shop for 1 foot for $1.25)
https://www.amazon.com/Rubber-Channe...09YPZC9Y9&th=1 When I modified/shortened my ECU box I used the same seals and ~16g plastic, same idea as had to cut off an entire corner of the ecu lid losing the outer/top seal, and now the new seal sits in just deeper on the inner part.
So now the seal sits inside the cap, opposed to the outside trailing edge, against the inside body of the headlight. What's nice is it's just the cap(s) you're modifying, if you ever sell the headlights or what ever you just get new/used caps for cheap as you're not cutting/touching the main headlight body. If you've never plastic solidered ($4 Walmart normal soldiering iron) it's super easy, and kinda fun to do.
