i forgot to post this earlier but o well
.. i am missiing a headlight from the pass. side
its a low beam...
i noticed a tiny , but noticeable difference in my temp.
it usually goes up to about 225 or higher in stop N go traffic.. but after the traffic picked up and i cruised around 70 for about 5 - 10 mins,,.. well maybe not even that long the tem p went down fairly fast and was slightly lower then it normally is..
i am thinking about making something , like a pipe or hose to get air into the engine thru the hightbeam light instead cuz i never use them anyway.. any ideas please let me know thanx

Does your car have the little plastic spoiler attached to the bottom of the radiator? If not you can get one and that will really help. If you're just wanting it to run cooler, install like a 180* t-stat and maybe add a fan switch so that you could turn the fan on earlier. IMHO, I think that taking out the high beams and adding ducting to the radiator would look kinda funny, but that's just my $.02.

Ever seen an older car? That's how they do their ram air systems.

I have seen older cars like that, however all of them had round headlights and they were all incorporated into the grill. To me it looked "less obvious" that there was a headlight missing. But if you want to do it, more power to ya! I just think that if you were gonna pull the high beams you might want to use that as a CAI/Ram air as opposed to aiding airflow to the radiator.
