Question: Why are eyecups needed?
What IS the point of an eyecup on a camera?
When I bought my Nikon d5000, I got two eyecups.
One that was already attached to the camera, a rubber one. And the other one was plastic.

What's the point of different eyecups?
Answer: What appears in the picture—the contents of the standard D5000 kit—is not an eye cup, but an eye cap. The eye cap is a windowless black plastic cover that replaces the Rubber Eye Cup on the body. The purpose of the eye cap is to prevent light from seeping into the mirror box through the viewfinder window. Stray light has the ability to effect metering and can possibly affect the contrast of your pictures if it's strong enough. This is especially important when you're shooting off-camera (i.e. remote, tether, self timer, intervalometer, etc. shooting). Alternatively, it can be useful in protecting the viewfinder window in storage.
Aftermarket eye cups do exist and they come in different shapes and sizes. It's all a matter of comfort and utility. Some are better at bridging the eye to the viewfinder than others. There are also eye cup with magnifiers or diopters too, though these can fit into their own individual categories.

Question: Nikon DK-3 eyecup?How the hell does this song installing it on my FM2? I am completely and totally lost, I tried "everything"
Answer: Remove the turn by twisting Nikon eyepiece. Scroll through the DK-3 according to the slots on the sides of the viewer FM2. Reinstall the eye turn to ensure the DK-3. I'm at work now, but I check on my FM and FE when I come home to double-check.
