Headlight thingy

What does the little dome over the bulb inside the headlight fixture do? I would think its for dispersing the light into the refractors? Anyone take it off and did it improve anything?

Tanks guys, awesome web site!!!

It's actually to prevent other motorists from getting blinded by light coming from a bare bulb. Reflected light does't bother you as much as direct bare bulb lighting. I'm sure other Massachusett drivers would think it's a "pi$$a" for you to leave the shield on.

Did you like my use of the word "pi$$a" ? My old boss was from Boston, Quincy to be exact.
