I suck at doing pics on here, hence the monstrosity. The lights didn't line up very well, but I'm sure I will get over it.

now thats a cold air intake, away from the engine bay, pulling in cool air, not the warm sh*tty air in the engine bay, good job. maybe even do a write up on your set up and what you did, would be greatly appreciated.

Nice lights, would like to see what it looks like in a night shot. Should look great when you have the bumper back on. Where did you pick them up?

Lights are straight up off ebay. So is the intake. Ordered 2 short tube intakes, put them together. Connected them to the stock rubber tube, jam(this took some guesswork, some trial and error) them through the little hole in the very front bottom corner of the engine bay. Remove the far right bumper bracket(to make room for the filter), then shove the filter up in behind the foglight from underneath. I did it the first time with the bumper still on. I would recommend taking the bumper off first, it will be harder to judge where exactly to put the filter after you take it off, so line up the tubes first.

Thats pretty good because it will get cold air and not all the rain and sand as well. Not bad , not bad at all.

The only time it gets dirty is when I go mudding.

Nice idea.
Now I know how to use the foglight hole to create a ram air setup.
I wish I could figure out how to get to the left foglight with a tube also.
