Never seen them before Yeah, you can buy a proper manufactured version of what people over here generally make, except for the most I have seen most look a bit DIY, which is not what I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 You might get lucky and come across one then The're like hens teeth, but there must be someone who's in Japland that could get hold of one, they get everything over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 The other way to do it is a duct like the whifbitz cars, on the bonnet just above the headlight. A ducted filter makes a huge difference to inlet temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) True, but I really like these headlamps, the're out there, I just need to find a way to track one down Failing that, there are these, where can I one of these ?

Guigsy Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Just take the headlamp and front of the airbox off? Or cut a hole in the front of the airbox and block it off with a bit something. Then remove it and the lamp when needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
