hey guys/girls
anyone out there running the headlight duct for the intake on a daily driver? if so is there any problems with drivign in the rain, with water goign into the intake etc?? just thinking bout making my own but it rains a lot here in florida espcially now with a few storms on the way

thanks for any input anyone can give

 

I wouldnt expect it to be too bad, but anything is possible.
Im pondering the same thing. I PM'd evoDave I think it was to see if he would mod my headlight and remove the faux foglight to do this.

 

You should look into the APS intake system. Much cheaper alternative, and less likely to have legal issues with the po-po for not having lights.

 

You want to run a headlight duct intake for daily driving? Are we talking about a duct that points the air into a filter or just a straight up intake duct?

 

Unless someone has a water hose spraying directly into the duct, I wouldn't worry about it. Wow, that just gave me a perverted mental picture...

 

^ hahaha

and aschold no not a straight duct to the inatke just a hole pointing toward the intake filter

 

yea my idea was to just remove the fog light section and make that part a duct while leaving the low and high beam in place

 

Oh alright, in that case, carry on.

 

i got a headlight for sale that you can use ;-)

 

^how much>?

 

dont do this for daily man its just dumb.

 

why?

 

I say go for it!

 

Its illegal in most states including FL to drive without 2 primary enclosed headlamps in working condition.

I got a fix it ticket for this a couple of years ago in my DSM doing this very thing. I fixed it, but did ask the judge why this is law?
He told me that in some cases weather can become so bad making driver visibility so low that its required by law for you to turn your lights on so other drivers / emergency vehicles can see you in these conditions.

Even though I know what your thinking and it is a good idea, cops will hassle you for it.

 

ddi he say he was removing the headlight? Or jsut the faux fog light like I was talking about?
