If you're going to be switching them in and out why not just make a unit like this.

That's genious dude. Did you make bolt holders (I don't know the term) to make that fab mount to the car or does it just snap into place?

Also how did you make it?

Also look through this thread for some similar ideas.

 

[mnetwork]

Yeah, I really like the ones that king of htx posted...

That's actually a factory headlight bucket so it's held in by 3 of the 4 factory bolts.

Basically cut up the factory light and fiberglass in the extension.

Nice ^

I like your valve cover too, were you painting it?

 

[mavisky]

Yea that was my old valve cover. Running a different one now. Need to re-paint it badly.

Wow , this thread is old . I started it 5 years ago , and still no one makes one . Any who you guys have done a pretty good job with your mods . I gues I'll have to get creative as well , one day .

Did you just cut a hole in it? If so it'll fog up like a madman, not to mention you'll blow bulbs left and right as you drive at night in any rain.

Seal that thing up somehow.

Bringing this thread back since I am in the process of turning a spare headlight into an air vent. I would like to see any updates from anyone who has done this.

 

[mnetwork]

I've been asking shops if they could make it, no one has come back with a yes. I would love to get a spare light and do this.

I did this to an ould headlight. All your really need is a dremmel, sand paper, PVC pipe, and epoxy. Cut a hole the size of the tube, angle the pvc to match the headlight, seal it with epoxy to keep water and stuff out, sand it smooth, and add paint if you want to keep it looking clean. It's really more of a PITA.

How did you do this? I looks good.

Ive seen a pic or two with holes goin through the headlight to the intake box. Are there any detailed pics or how tos that ive skipped over? I have an old headlight i wanna try it on. Do you think there will be a decent gain if i close it off real good? im also kinda worried bout driving in the rain if i did this cause rain would just be frced right in unless i rigged up some kind of plate for the air to go around. Thanks guys.
