Default metal can looking thing sitting in headlight?

hi,
bought an 1996 fiesta lx diesel,in drivers side headlight theres what looks like a small can lying in the bottom,
think lens will come of to get it out,
what is it?
other light looks like may have it covering the bulb,doesnt look same size tho,
ok without bit over bulb if thats what it is and does lens just clip on/off?
thanks again
colin

sounds like it's the bulb deflector plate that has fallen off, the beam will be altered with this missing
