Post Headlight Washers [MOD]

I used the same manual as for IS

if your headlights are on, and you use the windshield washers, the headlamp washers will automatically activate... I didn't like this... There is a separate button for the headlamp washers that activates the washers so why would you want them to go on automatically if you just want to clean a small smudge on your windshield?

I think with mine I have to push the button and it only works if the headlightd are on and you are moving at a certain speed. I have only seen water fly by once when I tried it at highway speed and it sprays the whole side of the car. Not a big deal because if you need to clean the headlights, chances are the car is already filthy.

I'm not sure about "certain speed". Cuz headlight washers work with turned on low beams even when you stopped. (To drive at certain speed not neccesary)

Maybe we have special edition for russians dirty roads

This good mod if you drive with your low beams.
I always drive with low beams on to avoid collision with blind drivers, which don't care about side mirrors =)
