Passenger side headlight? Who was working on the car? Lol those keep stuff out of the water drain gutter holes where the A pillars meet the hood.

Those catch the leaves and other crap that fall on the edges of your hood below the windshield...there removable so that you can pull them out and empty them. Mine usually have leaves and twigs in them.

Theyre the drain covers for the winshield/roof channels. They fit in place on opposite sides hence left and right at the top corner of engine bay if your looking at it from the front bumper. They just sit there dont snap in or anything, just a snug fit. Im not great at descriptions but I hope that helped!
