No it's not dangerous, as long as the engine itself is mostly stock. If you have an open intake kit or any exposed aftermarket wiring you should be cautious.

Also, it looks like you left the water guard in the hood, so that tiny bit that seeps in really won't do anything at all.

water will penetrate directly to the headlights! I think it's bad! can something close and break down!

If you're that concerned, you could use silicone sealant around the edges

Leave them on and seal up around the edges. Or if you really want, drill them out, put in new bolts and then seal up around the edges

You really don't have anything to worry about, everything in the engine bay is made to withstand water coming in, especially the headlights.
