So what year did they start putting those little covers there? I don't have them on my 2005, but the manual describes the headlight washers. Were they mounted elsewhere in 2005?

headlight washers are options, right? They can describe it but it does not mean yours is equipped, am I right?

Doesnt the head light washer come with the HID, so the light would not glare.

Understood. However, why do some bumpers have the cut-outs for them, and some don't? My 2005 doesn't.

Doh! I get it now! I had a loaner today and it had the little "covers" on the bumper. I thought these were just there to cover up holes where the squirters would go if this option was installed. I now realize that the squirters are under them and that they pop up to squirt. <sheepish grin>
