Welcome!

I generally only see 30-40 degrees above ambient temps with a standard type warm air intake, the kind that pulls air from near a hot engine part, such as the exhaust manifold. There are guys on here who have produced really good results with a moderately more complex mod in which they install a heater core into the intake air stream, allowing hot coolant to heat air before the filter, before the intake manifold. That kind of set up reports higher temps--don't go too high--and more importantly gives stable temps that can be high even in the winter. The more crude kind will probably rarely supply more than 30-50 degrees F above whatever ambient is, according to the season.

How much power does the CRZ headlight system draw? Isn't it LED?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
