GP xenons - headlight washers?
 
so is it just me, or does the GP xenon's not have functional headlight washers?

I could never get them to activate before the MFSW swap, and it's no better now...

My understanding was that they are -required- with xenons due to light scatter issues blinding oncoming drivers..... but maybe I just cant figure out how to use them?

Mine has them. They should activate automatically when you use the windscreen washer for the first time with the headlights on.

Better relook, they are dummy plates on the 13, my 12 has em but nothing connected to them

At some point before I configured my Roadster in 2012 the washers became optional, up till then they had been always included on xenons. I guess the regulations must have changed. In Europe washers and auto-levelling are mandatory with xenons.

I'm glad they're not on my car, to be honest.

Thunder Grey is hard enough to keep clean as it is.

whats the global build # on your GP? Wonder if it was a early/late change as there were definitely a few of those...

guess I should look closer to see if they're just plates or if something's broke...


thanks.

Mine is in australia, so probably different spec. Pretty sure it is the law here for xenons
