Vented air intake headlight covers.....

A few have, yes. The passenger side one would be the only real functional one, unless you are accounting for fresh air circulating in the engine bay, but I'm talking about just for intake purposes.
cool....They look awesome and they serve a purpose....def. thinking about getting them
do they let rain or debri get inside them?

I was considering a set of these that recently came up on ebay locally but I decided against them.
Functional or not, they look silly.

Yeah they don't look that horrible, prolly would never put it on my car though, they look like rain and dirt will get through very easily.
yea the rain and dirt is the only thing im worried about, otherwise i'd get them in a heartbeat
will do starscream

Just make pepboyz CAI that goes down to the fog light hole, lol! It actually works better. That little slit really wont do much

I can tell you folks right now, these headlights vents are 90% made for looks, not functionality. If you want to get thoroughly technical, I'd be willing to bet it gets a little bit more air into a part of your engine bay, but nothing worth getting excited over.
That said, I've actually got a headlight vent myself on my A70, while also having an uber long turbo inlet pipe that leaves my air filter to rest right behind my corner lamp and bumper.
I got this headlight vent strictly for visual purposes, and I love it.

you got pics of your setup? i went to pepboys and all they had were crimp bent exhaust pieces...and none of them were 3"
SP Engineering said they could do a custom one for me though...
I personally get bugged by the ebay ones.... they just look cheap even painted. Which is why I personally was going to either hold out for someone to sell USED CFX ones, or get the Kaze hl covers for my Regulus car.
I'm not in love with the way they look, kinda breaks up the lines of the hood (same reason I don't like the hood vent mod).
But if you had to have them, and given that the ebay ones look and I'm sure are cheaply made, why not make a set out of junkyard headlight covers?
Gotta be easy to do if you have any metal skills at all, and they'd be (you guessed it) metal! Probably cost you less than the crappy ones. And if you F them up, big deal, get another set at the junkyard, and try again.
Just a thought

The black supra in that ebay ad are not what you would recieve.
The ones that Satan has are what you would get.

I've had my vent (passenger side only) since the last century.
I can see how these "should" be "somewhat" functional but looking at them in actual use there is so little actual air that comes in through that opening and even less of it that would actually make it into your engine compartment that this is 99.9% not a functional vent.
You have to cut your front hood seal and get rid of the plastic trim piece that the seal seals against to see even the 0.1% additional airflow.
