Suppose that $x, y\sim N(0,I_n)$ are independent. Consider the inner product $\langle x, y\rangle$. Intuitively, $y$ behaves like a random vector of length $\sqrt n$, so $\langle x, y\rangle$ is close to $\langle x, z\rangle$, where $z$ is uniform on $\sqrt{n}S^{n-1}$. Now, $\langle x,z\rangle \sim N(0,\|z\|^2)$, that is, $\langle x,z\rangle \sim N(0, n)$. Therefore $\langle x,y\rangle$ is close to an $N(0,n)$ variable.
I want to show that the density function of $\langle x,y\rangle$ is close to the density function of an $N(0,n)$ variable, without resorting to the explicit formula of the density function of $\langle x,y\rangle$ (which can be obtained by characteristic function/Fourier transform and involves Bessel function).
Basically I'd like to formalize the intuition above. Write $\langle x,y\rangle = Z + W$, where $Z\sim N(0,n)$ and $W$ is small most of the time but not independent with $Z$. This gives that the cumulative density function of $\langle x,y\rangle$ and that of $Z$ are close, but this is not enough to argue that the p.d.f's are close. Is it possible to argue that following this outline?
