I finally got a way to record the headlight washers going, they are amazing things to watch like pop up headlights were back in the day.

Re: Headlight Washers In Action
Yip they work when the headlighs are on, good things to watch in action, generally useless though except for scaring away cats, id love to turn the nozzle around on them to work as a sort of water pistol that hid itself before the person sees what soaked them.
Your tips on the embedding a youtube video came in helpful, thanks.

Re: Headlight Washers In Action
My old Omega had a similar arrangement, but with one nozzle missing. Previous owner forked out £35 for a replacement, that disappeared 1st time he used them, so I never bothered.406executiveHDI wrote: id love to turn the nozzle around on them to work as a sort of water pistol that hid itself before the person sees what soaked them.
Jet could reach about 20' when the car was stopped

Also useful to spray the windscreen on fast roundabouts, if the screenwashers were frozen

2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
