    Headlight washers

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Okay, so I've been STFA and I haven't come across a suitable answer. I just wanted to know if all S4's, Canadian & US came with headlight washers. I thought I just had caps to cover an optional headlight washer/wiper, but I'd like to know if washers are concealed below it. I tried spraying the windshield washer and I'm assuming it's connected to that, and would spray at the same time, but nothing happened. All help is greatly appreciated.

    see that sucks. i always drive with my headlights and fog lights on. so if i was to want to wash the windows going down the freeway i would have to turn off the headlights. thanks for the heads up on that

    Haha I had no idea. Not that I've used the sprayers (ever - or at least since the test drive), but good to know.

    Seriously? I wonder if that's why I'm missing my passenger side cap. It's too bad because there are times when I want to clean my windshield at highway speeds but not at the risk of losing another cap.

    I did order a spare - how do I attach it?

    Re: Headlight washers

    Disconnecting them all together would be good. Seem pretty worthless to me.
