Head Light Washers
I can’t find the original post or the member who posted it but I would like to give them a massive THANK YOU for saving me time and money with it.
It works a treat and I now have fully working headlight washers without having to add the BBUS and a T4 session to turn them on.

Excellent work around , just remember they use an awful lot of water, that is why on the original set up they only operate on every 5th time you wash the screen with the lights on. Just keep an eye on the water level in the reservoir and all will be fine.

Yeah I read that at the time. I've only got them wired up ready for the MOT as they need to be working IF fitted. I've done it so I can simply disconnect the earth to the headlight washer pump so they will only be working for the MOT.

Also toaf can enable headlamp washers and the bbus alarm if you have the toaf software. Enabled headlamp washers on two of our cars when I retrofitted headlamp washers. Alternatively you could fit a switch inside the car to enable/disable the headlamp washers. |

Is there any point to headlight washers if there are no wipers?

Yeah as the amount of water that comes out of them will clear any mud or bugs off them with easy. Plus they cool the lens down with HID and Xenon blubs

Corin fitted a wiper stalk from a tourer (I have a saloon), and wired the rear wash function to activate my headlamp washers.
