Default Honda del Sol headlamps

Couple of quick questions:
1. Can anyone tell me what are the three "nipples" on the USDM headlamps for?
2. Also, why do USDM Honda del Sol headlamps have a "distinguished" pattern to them? (Does this help the lighting pattern)
3. And, finally are aftermarket headlamps for the Honda del Sol such as the "Crystal clear Headlamps," "Clear Black housing Headlamps" improve lighting at all (or is it merely for looks or does it reduce the effectiveness of the OEM Honda headlamps)?

I am planning on buying JDM PIAA H4 (5000K) to replace my stock crappy headlights since doing a HID conversion is out of the question (rather budget).

1. nipples are to properly align your lights
2. No idea
3. Cosmetic only

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you for replying to my questions.

P.S. By buying aftermarket headlamps that do not have "nipples" would that mean that the lighting would not be a good as accurate as the OEM headlamps?

Without the nipples you'll have to find your own way to align the light pattern.
