So I was driving for about 30min and then when I parked my car my friend asked to see my new low beam bulbs and when I opened my hood I saw that the pipe was detached and the intake was just there chilling. What might be possible problems if you drive without an air intake and what should I do to fix it?? I saw that I should change the oil immediately, should I?

Sounds like you lost a clamp.
I'm no expert but I don't think much harm will come as long as its just a quick drive to get back home or to the autostore. But you might want to grab another hose clamp and tighten that puppy down.
I dont believe an immediate oil change would be necessary.. that might be a precaution as unfiltered air and possibly dirt is now in the system.
