All right guys here's what I'm attempting, using small piaa xtreme white as a DRL and going to actually vent the brakes as well. Here are some rough pics of the materials I plan to use, wish me luck... Suggestions welcome

The current h3 bulb looks blue but is like 5000k white when powered up. I also have a led bulb if I want to use that. The vent hose will be routed to the wheel well and I'm using a directional round vent in there

UPDATE: took some panels loose under the bumper to ck it out a little, I'm encouraged that the washer tank looks like it will be amendable to my heat gun trick, I'll just heat it and deform it, for the clearence I need for the light, the brake duct hose looks like it will snake around the tank,again a little heat shaping. The h3 led bulb is not going to be as bright as the piaa bulbs, man those things will blind you!! So the plan is to take off the wheels and remove the wheel well panels, all the work will be done behind those. I want to do all my bulb changes, wheel spacers, drl lights ,brake ducting, all in one day. Fun,fun....

and what do you plan about doing on the passenger side to deal with the windshield washer fluid tank?

 

Haven't been in there yet, but these lights are pretty small. If I have to, I can cut the tank down and plastic weld back together, thus making it shorter ( not as deep) I have some experience in fabricating parts. Also, another idea I have for that would be using a heat gun on the tank to deform a small area to accommodate clearance for the light's body

 

Hey, nice project. I have done the same thing, but used two tubes. One goes up to the intake for cold air and the other tubes go to the brakes. There is no way you will route the tube to the break vent with the windshield washer fluid bottle right behind it, you cant bend the tube in the small space.

Check out my thread on the build - https://www.myg37.com/forums/body-in...ent-light.html

I started the project around page 8 or 9 after trying the light thing to begin with.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Someone did an air snorkel to the stock airbox on the370z.com

A brake vent would be useful too, the front brakes suffocate and overheat.

 

Thanks for the info, yea, the washer tank is the biggest obstacle for sure, but I have a few possible work arounds!

 

Subscribed. Im doing this this summer

 

cool idea...I haven't seen this done in a way I think looks good or is worth it yet, so hopefully you get it more on the mark...GL!!

 

props to you for attempting this! very interested how this turns out

 

Guys thanks for the interest, but be patient I'll be taking my time on this, probably a month to complete, I have other "honey dos'" in the works also, you know how it is! I will post updates
