DIY Headlight Intake

After I got my LED projector headlight, I have no idea what to do with my shock one, so..................

I painted Candy Yellow for the "Vitz" sign, so I still can keep the signal light

What do u guys think????

Its still heavy. You're better off just finding, or making a cover with a hole on it.

I'm guessing he switches them out at night, or more likely only uses them for track/show

This mod has potential. The shape of the inlet does not lokk optimal for scooping air. I can imagine if not done correctly there would be almost no benefit.

In a design like this, how do you prevent water from going into the intake???

you should do the same on the other side for appearance..but have it say "Toyota" i think that would look cool, plus balance it out.

I'm guessing this would only benefit SRI setups. Do you have a scangauge II? I modified my foglight cover and it made a 10 degree F difference in my intake temperature. Although on really hot days where the pavement has had a chance to heat up it sucks because your just sucking in nice hot asphalt air.

I have a CAI and right under the headlight. I installed a 90 degree pipe in the headlight, so the air will hit the air fiter. unlucky, I don't have a scangauge II.
