Just bought a front bumper for my classic 98 import and it has head lamp washers fitted to it. Is it easy to just run some extra washer pipes to the to washer bottle and change the pump or just put a 2 way t-piece, to have windscreen/head lamp wash.

The pump on mine, which HAS the h/l washers, is in two parts. The h/l part is higher pressure and pumps through wider pipes too.

You could run the wiring, but you'd need a switch, a new pump and the wiring, plus the pipework. I doesn't half use your washer fluid quick too

Cosidering that I've probably used mine twice in 12 years, I think I'd be removing the washers and having them blanked, or just leaving them unconncected

Cheers mate
I'll fit them as i loose alot of light driving at night in this weather, as i do alot of motorway driving. I'm going to run small pipes to the h/l washer off the window washer line so it will work simultaneously. Will post the results.

Headlight washers on a classic....never found mine that effective at cleaning the lights, they are however a very effective anti-tailgate system

Have to agree, were not that good, just froze up in the end and these are only on UK car front bumpers, JDM's dont have them.

You'll find having HL washers connected with your windscreen washers a real bind in the better weather when your car is nice and shiny and the damn lamp washers dump all over the bonnet while using the screen washers to remove dust ect from the windscreen.

My thoughts exactly.

They were just a piece of rubbish the japs put on OUR cars in lieu of folding mirrors, aircon that wasn't an extra, more powerful engines, a rear window wash/wipe, better seats etc etc.
