Hi, did anyone of you ever notice that the front planes wheel -I

had many of the light holders without the plate. They were great to use in
MOCs to reverse stud direction, but was this an "illegal" use of "modified"
Lego elements, even though they weren't intentionally broken? Should I have
thrown them out, never used them? Seems like a waste :-)
