I hope this doesn't bore any of you folks, as I know most of you are into performance mods, just thought you might like to know...

I finished my custom headlight washer system last night! I am pretty proud of it and I think it looks good. It's just two sprayers, mounted on the bumper, that look identical to the ones on the hood. It works off of the same switch as the windshield sprayer, just pull back and all four spray. Only took about 2 hours and $37. I was getting sick of poor visibility in the MN winter at night (snow, salt, sand, mud, etc.) If anyone wants to do it themselves (it's fairly easy), I can post some basic supplies and instructions. Peace out.

Dont cars that have that setup ussually use wipers on the headlight. I just think that it would be kinda pointless without them.

The sprayers are so close to the headlamp lense, about 4", that the spray pressure is about all you need to get dirt and salt dust off. I did think about doing wipers, but way too much work. I am running the headlight sprayers off of a second pump so it doesn't reduce my windshield spray pressure. I just go through twice as much washer fluid!

UK ones have washers and dinky little wipers and clear corners as standard. The switch is on the console behind the shift lever under the driver's left elbow.
