if you already have a cold air intake why do you need the extra air inlet? what sort of intake is it? or do you mean you just fitted a pod filter?

i haven't tried the indicator inlet myself so hopefully you'll get a few more responses to help you out.
the other tried and tested method is to cut a hole in the firewall / cowl and run your cold air from there. but if you're not keen on cutting holes in your car then the indicator inlet could be a good way to go, let's hope you can get some good info here.

i just noticed this is in the "body paint & trim" section. seeing as it's related to intakes you might get better responses in the "engine etc" sub forum.
there is a recent, lengthy thread on this topic you might like to read for some more background info on the subject

Hi LMW,
Firstly the items you are referring to are called Turn Signal Intakes or T.S.I.s
There are different opinions about their effectiveness but there is a more effective way to direct cooler air into the NA6/8 engine bay - headlight cover intakes.
Here is a previous thread on the topic

Reckon if you place a good custom airbox behind the passenger headlight that you will get pretty good 'cold air induction'. Oh and don't forget to remove the plastic tabs on the bonnet that actually will block air coming in through headlight covers if you do take that route.
Hope this helps
