Will removing the reflector in the headlight make it brighter?

[LauraDella]

Removing the light shield in the headlight will not make the light brighter. The light from the bulb is mainly reflected outward by the reflector cup installed on the inner side. Without the light shield, the light will have poor focus and the reflection effect will actually decrease. Below is the relevant information: Function of the light shield: The headlight light shield prevents light from scattering and helps focus the light better. During front or side lighting photography, it prevents stray light from entering the lens. The headlight light shield also prevents glare for oncoming drivers during nighttime driving. It protects the lens from accidental damage, prevents fingers from accidentally touching the lens surface, and to some extent shields the lens from wind, sand, rain, and snow. During lighting photography or nighttime photography, it prevents stray light from entering the lens. Measures to prevent headlight glare: Use dual-filament bulbs, use dual-filament bulbs with light shields, adopt asymmetric light patterns, Z-shaped light patterns, and automatic dimmer circuits with photoresistors.
