headlight air induction idea

im toying with the idea of doing a ram air induction through my high beam light spots. i found an HID kit that replaces the low beams, and switch from high to low from just those, so i dont need the high beam halogens anymore. i found a car that someone did this to, i was thinking of doing something similar, here is a pic:

Re: headlight air induction idea

I've been toying with the same idea ('91 F'bird). It looks neat. However, you're not going to get any significant ram effect until you're going really fast. Good cold air though.

Re: headlight air induction idea

Good idea, bad (imho) choice of kit.

I highly doubt that those are projector lights. Those appear to merely be HIDs in a housing with a round lens to look like projectors.

I'd like at http://www.ddmtuning.com or from http://www.theretrofitsource.com

Several threads here on TGO about retrofits. Read those before you buy anything & waste your $.
