Having some fun with ducting an intake vent through the headlight. The headlight was done by "LozCustoms" in Florida. Nice genuine carbon fiber. I refreshed the intake vent through the brake duct with a venturi-like funnel as well. I previously did testing with the brake duct intake vent and it made a difference in IATs while on the track, so this headlight duct will likely amplify that, especially at speed.








Really easy to wire 2011+ (mine are 2013 headlights) to 08-10 ISF. Just unpin red and green from the harness as shown below and red goes to a ground and green goes to power (I used an ignition source in the driver side fusebox, IG2 I believe, with tap-a-fuse).

That came out great.

Good to know the wiring is that simple. I have always wanted to upgrade to those lights.

Yep, real easy man. Headlight is sealed A OK. Had the car out with fluctuating humidity and rain and no problems with the ducted light.
