Also, I don't agree regarding added lights screwing up the air to the scoop. A round lamp on a light-bar out in front of the bumper should not have a significant affect on the air flowing over the hood... at least not significant enough to cause intercooler issues. Even with the spill/turbulence off the lamps, there's still going to be air directly entering the scoop. The scoop does not rely on laminar flow up the hood to function... it's not a NACA duct or something... it's a scoop.

I have no problem with the high beams on. The only time I've wished I had better lights is when driving on I80 West of town with only a 3 foot high piece of K rail seperating the oncoming lane from mine. I'm being blinded by oncoming lights and therfore my low beams really don't cut it. Add some poor viability and poorly painted lines/no reflectors on the road, and I have to drive under the speed limit to feel safe in some spots.
It's funny, Alex was just telling me that I need to add some driving lights too.
