Headlights and Code Reader

I'm sure this has been asked but humor the new guy;

1. Is there an aftermarket headlight bucket the eliminates the whole washer part? [biggest waste of engineering ever] And if so, how do you keep it from throwing codes if eliminated, [assuming it does]

2. Is there a reasonably priced code reader that gives sufficient information to be useful? And why do you recommend whatever it is you're using.

Thanks,
robj

not sure on the headlights.

inpa is arguably the best code reader. See my post titled “inpa” for all the details.
