not really sure what you are talking about a rubber boot mine were just held in with the factory metal rings that holds the housings and as far as plugging the bulbs in I had a hard time with mine coming un plugged so I bent the prongs on the bulb like this \ / then put the socket on there and no more problems but mine are not the projector houseings either just the clear housings

on the back of my headlight housing it came with a rubber boot that just slides on

there is a oring around the bulb itself to seal it but I have no idea about the boot, on mine the buln goes in and you turn it to lock it in place

my don't lock in place there is a spring that holds it in place.but my bulbs don't have any o rings on them i think thats the missing part. thanks
