Head light washers

[Skint]

As mentioned above in the thread the headlamps pop out of the bumper due to the pressure of water. They sit in the front bumper under little squares in front of the headlamps and only pop out when you hold the windscreen washers for 2 seconds when dipped or main beams are on.
When i first bought the car i couldn't work out why they wouldn't work, because i viewed it in the daytime didnt think of leaving the lights on.
They do look pretty cool though, when they pop out they only stay out for literally a fraction of a second..

They're hidden under little squares in the bumper just in front of the headlights and as mentioned above in the thread pop up using the water pressure.
When i first bought the car i didn't think they worked but found out later that they only pop out after 2 seconds of holding down the windscreen washers when you have either dipped or main beams on.
They look pretty funky, when they pop out they only stay out for literally a fraction of a second but blast a huge amount of water.

Those are covers for two of the screws that hold the bumper in place.

I was thinking Golf 4 washers

Ive had some LEON ones before... they first versions did have this as an option.

Our MOT here has also come up with that washer story...

 

[mjt]

leons with washers do exist, but afaik xenons were not an official option

i wish i had some, it's amazing how much muck can cover the lights in slushy conditions

I wonder if the washers from the Golf 4 are easily applied...

Theyre wasier to find, im sure...
