Fixed my original problem.

Now I wanted to know what's the purpose of the cap that is over the DRL lights. I have a 98 Malibu and wanted to know if it's alright to take it off. I want the DRL to be a bit brighter than they are right now and I figure taking that cap off would make them so.

I guess all it really was the misalignment between them. One was pointing the beam up, while the other was pointing directly at the floor. I guess I pretty muched fixed it.

I was wondering if it's safe to take off the little cap that covers the DRLs? Is there a specific purpose for it? I think that the lights would be quite a bit brighter without it.
