Now I dislike the headlight washers as much as the next man but on the way home last night I was groping about for another CD and hit the dreaded button by mistake - it was pitch black outside and I was doing about 60 - the combination of the darkness, the HID lights and the fan of water really does create a most impressive luminescent fan effect!

This kept me amused for the next 10 min's or so

LOL

Shock horror I actually used the washers on purpose!! the other evening on the motorway. I almost felt they did some good and the lights looked even brighter.... probably just kidding myself though as the lenses were still filthy when I got home

Best used as portable illuminated water features IMO

Thanks for the tip Ian!

I'll try it on the way home tonight.

Has anyone seen if they can get pedestrians with the headlamp washers? I'll try that tonight as well and post pictures of my black eye tomorrow!

You do get an impressive amount of water from the headlamp washers. I was sat in the car (in the garage) with the roof down fiddling with the stereo when I accidently lent on the washer button - I got soaked - wondered what the hell was going on, as I could not figure out how it could be raining in my garage
