Hid projector retrofit

Hid projector retrofit

I turned them on and the cutoff was kinda of rounded and I'm not really sure of what to do about that... If you have any clue of how I could flatten it out it would be appreciated.

Sorry bro I just always thought that if you are getting cold air instead of warm air you are getting more air per volume because of the density of the air, thus getting more out of a single combustion. For example you have a fire and if you close the damper and it doesn't burn as well as it...

What do you think?

I just got a better angle and was able to get the heat shield enclosure away from the engine heat and just a better place with more room to fit everything nicely.

What do you think?

Well a cold air intake is isolated for the most part from the rest of the engine bay thus sucking in cold dense air through the grille where as in a open element with cowl induction is open to the engine bay sucking in warmer air getting not as good of a combustion.
