....Well, I guess you could cut out all the verticals to then make it one larger opening. Those 'verticals' must account for blocking a very significant percentage of the inlet aperture. On the other hand they might stop some debris such as leaves.

I was thinkin of looking into somthing along these line the other day as my brother used to run one on his skyline.
Dubtek:
It works extremely well on the track cars we support and on the Mk5 its in an ideal position in relation to the filter. We'll see on the MOT aspect but its being designed mainly for the track orientated cars where maybe it can be interchanged with the OE light on the road.
This and many other ideas are all part of the R & D going into my grand plan to build a AMD/Milltek style track car for the 2011/12 season.... :laugh:
Will post up the Mk5 light as soon as its done and get some feedback. Thanks for the comments so far. It wont be cheap due to the mould and cutting costs/time element to do it, but I think it will be popular with the serious Mk5 enthusiasts and racers.
MAT ED30:
just a thought but on a xenon headlight i am sure the inner light has no function so u could easy use/ cut that area up
gillm:
great idea but you have to get the bumper off to get the light out , so peeps will prob just leave it in the shed or on the car all the time
