Default headlight air ducts.....what are the road rules?!?!?

as hopefully (ryan ) i'll have one soon and just wandering what the road rules are on these?!?!?

is it....if you have one and drive during the day, its ok!!!

as long as you don;t switch the other headlight on!!!

i know they would be a bit silly during the night, but surely, you can't be pulled during the day..........SURELY?!?!

You don't need headlights during daylight hours but if lights are fitted they must work so having just one operational headlight will contravene contruction and use regulations IMO.

Take both headlights out and I reckon that would be legal

ok, what is the general design at the rear of these , like i would like to be able to slip my inlet pipe over a tube coming off the duct if that makes sense. Its not just an open hole is it??

its not legal, but youl just get a fine.

i remember after TRAX this year half the bloody cars youd see going down the road had headlights removed and it was dark by then.

The bit on the airfilter where the pipe slips over is 80mm so thats what id like the size to be on the duct if possible
