but i dont think thats exactly the same. they look like lil speed bumbs under the eyes of the headlights... any help would be appreciated. they look really aggressive and tough.

JoeGS300

hahaha yeahh thats it i think! what exactly do they do? just "wash the headlights" as their name says? where can one find them? how much?

LB Lex

They just spray the headlights clean if they get dirty. They come on Canadian GSs for sure, but I'm not too sure if they are available in the States.

It might be a pain in the butt mod if you want it fully functional because you have to buy the washers, hoses, interior switch, etc.. If you just like the looks, I'm sure you could just buy the washer and attach it to the bumper.

Here's the pic of the inside of the car with the headlight washer (it's the switch next to the mirror adjustment). You'll lose that little coin tray in place of the headlight washer switch.

Not an option in the US.

yeah those are headlight washers, they are there to spray water or so when there are dirt, and mostly when there are snow too? i have that on my sc430 but neve tried it though (no need).

JoeGS300

would you guys think its corny to attach them?

LB Lex

You seem to like them. But IMO they're not something on my list because it doesn't add much to the look of the car. Plus, you might have to cut a hole in your bumper and then if you decide that you don't like them you're stuck with two holes on your bumper. I'd rather spend my money on a front lip, those look hot.

ohhh yeahh those TTE's are beautiful. one day when money grows on tree's....

i wouldln't even try to get them to work. it's too hard. you need that unit, you need the electronics, you need the dash mod, you need the harness, you need the hoses to put liquid on the washer from the windshield washer reservoir. bad idea, very costly imho. if you just wanna do it for cosmetic, then it's up to you

JoeGS300

yeah.. purely cosmetic. just like the exaust tips i wonder how much these will run me and where i can get them from...

I think getting a TTE lip done might be cheaper (about $500 painted). Unless you are doing the labor yourself, getting everything needed and hooked up correctly and cleanly for the headlight washers may not be that cost effective.

Too much work and they don't even look nice....

Too much effort done to look stock-ish....
