Default Fog light air intake conversion ?

Hi all
I have a full air induction kit on my Bug with the filter in the lower wing but I want to get more air flow to it so I want to get rid of the fog light and fit an air intake conversion inlet ,does anyone know where I can get one from ?
Cheers

If your filter is just the other side of the cover and you put a hole (and tube?) directly in front of it, be prepared for frequent cleaning of the element.
My filter is in the cavity and more than enough air gets in via the slot in the STi cover.
