Question Headlamp Washers and Radar Cruise
Out of those who have an ISF, how many of you have one or both of these options? Secondly, how often do you use them and what are you likes and dislikes on each of them?

Thanks,

I nd ISF

Never used the Headlamp Washers probably because I get my car cleaned weekly. Not sure about radar Cruise, but if that is cruise control.. forget about it

I wouldn't really use either of the features I always keep the car clean and don't use cruise control ever so they're pointless to me Nice features though

Easier to clean the headlights myself than the messes from the HW. I heard all kinds of problems w/ radar cruise so I pa$$ed ;-)

In Europe, headlight washers is a MUST if car is equipted with Xennon lights. Maybe in some states, it is also a law of this kind in USA?

Nope, no law here about headlamp washers. It's just an extra feature offered on some vehicles

headlight washers are good only in sticky snow, when you drive and snow keeps sticking on and making headlights covered...it has no use in cleaning any dirt/dust...
