That "prism" allows the wiper/washer emblem to light up a little bit.  it installs at the edge of the instrument cluster and there's a little slot there in the cluster housing where it can pick up a little light.

This is a little bit of an explanation:

They are really hard to install/uninstall without breaking at the push pin
