What little piece of metal?

Take the light out, take out the H4 bulb (or is it H3?) then look inside the hole.

Yes I am... is there something wrong with modifying that? I seemed to have pretty good results all in all.... these cutouts are weird... they go like -----.______ instead of just a strait line... ___________ any idea why?

In the US, the cut-off should be ___/------
That is normal. All cars sold in the US with projectors have a similar cut-off. The left is lower to not blind other drivers and the right is higher to better illuminate signs. In right-hand-drive countries, the cut-off is reverse (left high, right low ----\____).
