N/S Head Lamp rear cover August 30, 2021, 12:31:15 AM Hi all, my 1991 16v has a cover over the O/S headlight rear where the air box feed comes from, my question is should the N/S have anything apart from the rubber boot that covers the rear of the bulb?

Re: N/S Head Lamp rear cover Reply #3 – August 31, 2021, 03:30:25 PM yes the cover is just airbox side. I belive it acts as a duct to funnel air into the airbox from the grill and around the light. Mine has a tube into the duct/cover from the grill, not sure if that's original ot been added by an owner to funnel additional front of car cold air.
