Why not swivel them like you said and just fill them with pee-pee?

The headlight washer is required in UK for all HID factory lighting....true it's worthless....but it give you a factory installed "hot switch". Seems like it might be good for something but I can't think of what....perhaps a radar detector....

I switched it off also after a few unexpected showers on me & my gf this summer.
Does anyone know if there is a way to remove them? How big can the holes underneath be?

After recent repairs, both washers work much better and actually only spray the headlamp rather than the bonnet / windscreen and the cabin! I can only presume they are angled better now.

How much work would it be to take them off and have a body shop fill and paint the holes? If they p**sed me off that much, that's the first thing I'd have done.

Remove them from the front of the car & fill the holes. Place them on the rear bumper and aim them towards the ground. Reroute the plumbing. Fill the reservoir with oil.

Don't you hate people who tailgate? Wait until they follow you too close on a highway ramp.



Don't actually do this. (in case some freak decides to and then blames me for telling them to).
DON'T!
DON'T DO IT!

There.

I love all these comments about filling tthe washer bottle with unmentionable substances and redirecting it elsewhere. Only problem is it's the same washer bottle for headlights and windscreen (translation for North Americans: that's the big piece of glass sitting in the front of the driver and passenger which the windscreen (damn that word again ) wipers move across) and I sure don't want all the crap over it.
