Hello,

many thanks

Just wondering why it's a legal requirement there... any particular reason?

According to this, the headlight washer will operate only if the headlights switch is at the ON position. So I guess you can turn off your headlights and then activate the washer if you don't want the headlight washers to go on.


• If the windshield washer switch is turned on when the ignition and headlight switches are at the ON position, the headlight cleaner motor operates.

• The headlight cleaner operates only one time for every five times the windshield washer switch is operated.

• If manual operation occurs within two to five times of the windshield washer switch being operated, the number count is reset. Also, if the headlight switch is turned to the OFF and then to the ON position, the count is reset when the windshield washer switch is turned on.

The reason why its required is because it keeps the lights clean for better visibility.

Well European standards are much better, a lot of cars have 'heated' headlamp washers for the winter.

We're talking about the continent that has Autobahns here, good car people!
