Brock, I'm sorry to say this, but I don't think it's a very good idea if you're just driving around town. At the track or in a race, great idea. But I really think if you leave it in there all the time, it'll look horrible. Sorry dude.

Gotta sort of agree with Taz on this one. If you're gonna put it in and take it out just for the track are you saving any more effort or time then just taking the regular headlight out at the track and putting it back in there? Actually your doing twice as much work changing out the lights, besides the black ones look too bad *** to pull one out for the drive to and from! :-D

That aside nice try, I've done things like that, just want to do SOMETHING and have spare headlights laying around. What the heck didn't cost anything but time!

Then again, like Justin says if you are going to run this headlight the air is going to bounce around inside the old high beam and the turn signal really screwing up the flow but keep playing with it. It'll certainly be different and a discussion piece at the track if you do run with it!

Ram Air hoods have ducts and water channels built in to them, that's just a hole near electronics.
