Bi xenon retrofits so you high and low are on one beam leaving your original high beam free. Re wire the indicators to the high beam and use orange bulbs. DONE! Sidelights can be left alone.

Indicators are now free of cold air intaky.
Hummmmmmm i may try this as i run bi xenons retrofits. :twisted:

How much do the bi xenon retrofit headlamps cost?

Would be tempted to do this, the more I look at the pics the more I like the idea of opening it up further :D

James, I'm sure I could wrap the outside of the fog surround in CF too if that does anything for you. And I definitely need to hack the bumper a bit but the good news is I have a bit of length on the pipe left :)

£450-500 plus shipping from US if one of the retrofitters build them for you plus custom charges ontop. :lol:

:shock: I'm sure they're awesome but :o £500???

There are a few other things I'd need to do first, and a lady I'd need to charm ;)

Little update, adjusted the setup before JF and just got a pic of the intake path;

Needs a bit more tinkering next time the bumper is off but it's looking pretty clear now :)
