Ok so i ordered a DDM 35w 10k HID Kit.I was looking at Headlight housings and I looked at two housings one on LMC and the other one was at CKRESTO so they both appeared to be Diamond Cut and they had the little cover that is over the low beam so I ordered the one from CKResto cause it was cheaper;thinking it was the same but it doesnt have the cover over the low beam bulb like my friends does,so what do I do,will it affect my HID output or what or will I be ok..Or do i even need the cover over the low beam...

It's a glare shield to cut down on light scatter. Since you don't have it you will get some light scatter and no cut off line. Just aim your headlights down and you'll be fine.

Shouldn't really be a big issue. As long as you're not blinding everyone off the road then you're good.
