I think it is for removing snow from the head lamps, but i use it in a very different way when my car is dirty! just for fun 
you can bring attention to girls by just pushing that button! good because i gave my number to 3 girls
some times there is stupid sleepy people that drives right behind me in a completely empty highway!!! again just push it he will wake up, flash his hi-beams and clean the windshield 
other times when some shit drivers annoying me, i just use it and i pretend that i was sorry for this
there is a lot more fun that i can't write here but be careful not to make streetwars!

The headlight washers are fugly as hell and don't work to wel too they spray onto the hood and if your top is down you get a shower. Many owners in europe have pulled the fuse or removed them from the bumper.
I also heard a story from someone who was asking for directions and when he leans towards the passenger side to listen a litle closer he touches the washerbutton. Spraying the guy who was willing to help him

Did you know that the US government forced Honda to increase the size of the S2000's 2.0 liter engine to 2.2 liters to comply with federal requirements? The F20C engine was not emitting enough pollutants. Also, the S2000 did not qualitfy as a "sports car" under American standards becasue of it's lack of drag racing luster. Initially the government requested that the S2000 be modified to come equipped with a V8, however, Honda countered by promising to introduce three new trucks in 4 years to add to fuel consumption in the country. This increased fuel consumption will help drive oil prices up, thereby increasing the worth of the Bush oil wells in Texas as well as increasing the oil out put by Saudi Arabia, which are close friends of the Bush family. Hence why we now have the Element, Pilot, and that new pickup coming out.

U guys crack me up!Yep the ar$es that are "running" the EU decided All HID cars must have washers fitted to comply with the law.
We also have some fantastics legislation.
Size and description of certain fruit and vegetable items is regulated ( bananas for example
)The Spanish can fish UK waters to saturation, whilst UK fishermen are paid to scrap their boats
The even dreamed up their own pan european currency (the euro) to make trade and price comparisons between the EU states easier. Has it worked has it
rant over
Anyway I actually like the colourcoded washers, but would love to ditch the front number plate
U like? I do

Personally I have removed the plug from the switch under the middle console. As it was mentioned before it was the first thing I did on delivery before I even started the engine. The manager/seller was looking at me like that
By the way what rims are this? Are they Fondmetal? Please tell me specs/sizes!
I believe its the only rim that fits excellent on the S2000.
By the way which front lip spoiler is that?

Its also on JDM models, and as mentioned Australian models. I've no qualms about it being there, and the button for the 03 model is behind the steering wheel, so I never accidentally activate it. In fact, I can't say I've ever used it at all. I wouldn't say they look good either, but they're not ugly IMO.
