Nope. It helps to focus the beam I think.

Most likely you'll lose a good amount of your light cutoff. Besides, in Taiwan, they aren't as strict about DOT related stuff like they are in the States. Plus, everyone there knows how to aim their headlights.

I thought it was to aim the light to the correct side of the road... But when taking it off make the housing black too

i think it will be fine without them....my JDM headlight housings dont have them. the beam pattern is good and i dont think it blinds anyone.

It will be a bit brighter for the opposing driver, but nothing unbearable if you aim them correctly...
