Default I need half a headlight

Was wondering if there was any way to use one of the headlight holes to direct fresh air through my half-core radiator. Could have sworn i've seen this done before. I realize the light is a one piece high/low beam but maybe there is a replacement i could use for just the low-beam?? Car obviously runs real hot with over 500hp and i need to direct some fresh-air under the hood...thanx..

Huh? The outer two headlights are both low beams, and the inner two headlights are both high beams. Why don't you just use the inner headlights, and go without high beams?

Yes, however, unless you suggest sawzalling the headlight unit in half , how would i use the area where the high-beam is?

Take the lenses off the housing, then yeah hack the inside of the high beem projector out. But really, if your going to do all that, why not figure another way to get much more air in there. I'm sure you could use some sort of ducting in the grill area to direct air flow over to that one side.
