I understand that people use the foglamp holes to have ram air. Could anyone explain that to me?

Cos I have no foglamps and I would like to make those holes useful for something

Is this on the 'Stang in your avatar?

If it is a carb 5.0L then you should have a dual snorkel air cleaner and dual air pick up tubes on each side. You would run a bit of rubber cold air induction tubing from end of teh iar pickup tube in the inner fender in front of the front tires and run it to the foglight hole. Just figure out a way to hold it in place, maybe a bracket or in my case I used zip ties.

If it is a 86 fuel injection car you can just use one of the CAI kits and pull the air from the inner fender. It would be difficult to pull air from the foglight hole and route it through a length of duct big enough to fit over the cone style airfilter.

Also alot of people frown off pulling air from low like that. If it is middle of the summer in teh daytime chances are your going to pull warmer air heated by the asphalt.

Thats why some prefer a open element Cold Air Induction system in the inner fender or rig the car to be able to draw air from the high beam headlight buckets.

You are better off using the holes for brake ducts. Keep those rotors cool when you are really diving in deep on the brakes. A lot of roadrace cars use them.

What holes can you use to vent air onto the brakes? And how do you do that?

Take a piece of hose ducting and route it from the for-light holes back so that the outlet aims at the brake calipers and rotors.
