I'm not sure there is an official name for this "hosey-tube thing", but
I'll bet it's the hose/duct that directs air from the intake behind the
pass. side parking light to the air box.  Want a quick ram-air setup on
your car?  Take out the right parking light.  Want to hydro-lock the
engine?  Cut a big hole in the bottom of this hose and drive thru a
large puddle.
