As long as you have headlight washers & make sure you get the NON ADAPTIVE headlights. Slimer sells them on here also from time to time.

An easy swap, virtually plug and play style. There was a good deal on here a little while back, thats where I got mine. Contact Slimer, he may have access to more units.

I believe it's a legal requirement when Xenons are fitted.

...or just keep your old units and swap back if ever an issue at MOT-type check time or equiv on your side??? Can't see anyone else either knowing that particular requirement or having the opportunity or energy to enforce it...

If REALLY keen to obey the letter of the law (if it applies) then put an ext from the windscreen jets and plumb your own in, this worked fine on my Rover 214 in 1990(!) put a valve in so you can isolate in summer perhaps and live with higher wash consumption - sounds much easier and cheaper than retrofitting (if possible) the factory wash system, although obviously slightly less sophisticated...

I can supply you a front bumper complete with headlamp washers (and fogs & PDC) too so you'd just need to sort out the extra pump and washer bottle connection, I think MrH has done this so may be able to advise what's involved The End

Cheers
