In the pictures in the DIY you had a grommet that was flat and look relatively simple to slide through the H clip, not to mention that your rubber grommet was able to slide on the wires, mine was a multi level grommet that was over half an inch tall and seemed impossible to slide on the wires without tearing;

HID Kits, BMW Aftermarket Bumpers & Lighting, DEPO - DDM Tuning
Just look at the size of the grommet next to the bulb, that definitely wouldn't fit through the H clip. Overall though I had plenty of silicon on hand to patch up any openings into the headlight assembly so I'm covered there.

I'm just glad that this whole ordeal is over, and all I need is a pair of new low-beam dust covers in case I ever want to revert back to a stock set up!
Buy the kit that is meant to keep moisture out of the headlights and you will have two dust covers and plugs.
$20 -$30 cost if I remember correctly.
