Finally, obvs, white LED in the City Light strip.

Is the problem in closing the cover caused by the packed ballasts in headlamps or its physically back of the bulb with connector protruding too far? In my case, L-shaped D2S connector is touching the back of the rear cover but is possible to close properly after I modified the rear cover a bit (cut out some plastic supports). Plus I did a hole to pull out cables to external ballasts.
I would try to modify cover asap as you really dont want to trust that "dust cover" too long, its more for rain/water protection than dust that I would be worry about.
As for taking the projectors out for MOT - nah, going trough the hassle of realligning lights etc? - do yourself a favour and get cheapest used set of OEM lamps from scrapper and just replace them once a year
