How do you remove the Headlight washers???
In Hawaii you CANT get an IS with NAV (and no west coast dealer will ship to Hawaii). So im stuck with getting a non Nav IS350. 
The only car in Hawaii thats fully loaded has Headlight Washers. Which I think are REALLY UGLY. How can I remove them.
OR do I wait 3 months and order one without.

If you can live without the ventilated seats, illuminated scuff plates, rear sunshade, and headlight washers, there are additional packages that are available in Hawaii that's kinda like a Lux/Sport hybrid package.
Oh...not so sure about ML availability for this package, you may have to sacrifice not having that as well. Either that, or special order might be the way to go. Only problem with that is, the 2007s won't be that far away by the time you get your car.

if you remove the headlight washers there would be holes on the bumper cover. You can try to disable them by removing a fuse (check the owner's manual), although disabling them does nothing to the appearance. Don't see why it's such a big deal--you probably don't like the parking sensors, either.

agreed if you just dont like the way they look then dissableing them isnt going to do anything. And removing them means replaceing the bumper to cover the wholes. Hey just send my your extra parts and we will call it a trade. LOL

The headlight washers squirt whenever the headlights are on, whether you need them or not. It's a waste of washer fluid, and nice way to mess up a freshly detailed car. They may be great in the winter when there is lots of salt and snow melting chemical on the road, but I wish there was a switch to disable them in summer.

Better get yours checked. I dont think they are supposed to squirt unless the button is pushed.
*maybe I should turn my headlight washers into water guns... LoL

Im probably going to end up with this car and have the HW shaved off... along with the emblems on the trunk.
soo sad.

i think it's kinda strange they don't have NAV here... some of my friends have NAV on their vehicles and it seems to work great.
and my 2 cents is that those headlamp washers don't look that bad at all. plus you are going to debadge the trunk? whyyyyyy?

Thats what I said... I asked for package K and sales manager didnt know what I was talking about. So I have it printed and Im going in on monday.
As for the Nav they said that there is no Hawaii DVD so they are not shipping any here. Which makes sence but shouldnt I be able to order one without the DVD???
and for the headlamp washers and trunk emblems... Im kinda picky with my cars. I prefer the clean look. (also because i got OCD and hate polish that gets stuck in the emblems). Another reason is that most people will have to leave their badges on because there are holes behind them. If I were to shave mine my car will look alittle different.
