I think it would be easier to grab a socket set, extension and a 10mm socket and just take the passenger headlight out and then the headlight tray out. That's how i did mine yesterday. Took less than an hour and the majority of that time was fighting with the cupplers trying to get them over the piping.

is short ram better? they say that cold air intake is bad when it rains because you can get hydro lock unless you get a by pass valve which is more right? but I've also heard that some cold air intake can be taken apart and made into a short ram in less than a min is that true?
