Default got one little question

ok, I just bought some headlight eye brows and painted them and was going to put them on until I noticed the little knobby things I have on my headlights. I've got a 94 accord and I don't know if they are all like this, but they stop the eyebrows from being flush up against the headlight and they don't really stay on very good. What I was wondering was if there was anyone else on here that have these things and have had this problem, if I should just file those ***** down or are there oem 5th gen headlights that I could get that don't have these knobby things.

ps. - why the hell did honda do this to the headlights? what purpose do those knobby things serve?
