What's the reasoning behind the HID having to have washers?

Maybe to wash off the ton of bug mush that accumulates on them in the summer ?

It's so when you're stuck in a traffic jam with the roof down on a sweltering day, you can have a nice refreshing shower.

Really, the Europrats in Brussels think the HID lights create too much glare if dirty, so they must be kept clean at all times.

Where I live, one car in three has at least one non-working light no MOT, you see

Firstly, I have owned my S2000 for about 6 weeks now and have learnt many new ideas and tips from this site - Thanks very helpful.

i am hoping to attend SM3, work permitting, (I feel a bottle of whiskey to my skipper) but will know closer to the time.

Again, many thanks for the high quality of knowledge and help on this forum.

Rob

The opposite is more likely to be true.
Is there legislation to make sure we use these washers?
