Thumbs down So my driver's side HID went out and this is what has ruined my night

I'm not sure how big of an issue it is but I just went home and realized that my driver's side HID was out (The city lights were good, I don't have fogs mind you )

ANyways, I was like, "Great now I gotta open up the bumper and all that good stuff"

Long story short I popped open the hood and realized that the plug was exposed and loose... THE CAP THAT TURNS TO KEEP THE HOUSING AIRTIGHT IS MISSING!!!! OH man, I don't see how it could've fallen off, somebody had to have taken it off (might have been my MECHANIC!!!) anyways... is there a personal fix it I can do for this like DUCT TAPE??? (as a temporary solution) I am imagining that in this state the plug will constantly pop off during a bumpy ride =T.... can I order this piece from the dealer?

I have had this problem before. I used super sticky duct tape to close up the hole. You dont want water to get in there cuz it will make its way through the housing and eventually end up in your ballast.
