Easy to Remove Headlight for Cold Air?

going to the track tomorrow. I had seen how some guys have removed the pass side headlight to allow more cold air into the air filters.

Is this easy to do quickly and then re-install? Are there any downsides?

Thanks

Sounds dumb. I've never seen that before.

It only take a few minutes to remove a FD headlight assembly. However, I don't think you are going to get any noticeable improvements from doing so unless you add in a duct to create a ram intake.

Thanks for your opinion, I guess.

Well, I've been working hard lately to completely seal off the radiator with some ghetto fab'd duct work, foam etc. That pretty much rules out any cold air getting up to the air filters from the nose of the car. I haven't had the time to fab up a cold air intake box that will draw in air from somewhere besides the engine bay, so I thought a quick solution until doing so would be to remove the pass side light assembly to allow air directly in towards the filters
