The lights are on bcuz its probably not reading the mass airflow sensor correctly-Did you install the cold air as specified by the instructions

I don't think it'll hurt anything-leave it in place

Just add to this one the only thing i would worry about is water/moisture getting at the computer the air filter housing protects it from the elements thats why they seal it in the air filter housing.Thats my opion on that one.
