headlights clearout- 2002 x5 final questions

[moneytree]

Ok I have read all the previous posts on this issue but still some questions remains:

When clearing out the HL, I assume you take all three parts off"

the two lenses (lenses for high-beam and xenon) and the amber to get the clear look. So in fact, there is NO more lens in place for High-beam and xenon, or do i need to get a clear one?

As for high beam I understand it will be a very different beam, which doesnt bother me too much

as for xenon, removing the lens will affect the cut off? Is it still usable without the lens? or is there any other concerns? the lens must have some important use , otherwise it wouldnt be there right?

I do not plan to use AE just get that clear look.
