What the heck are these?

I like the Japanese toilets.... So many opens. Fake flush sounds for ladies.... Extra strong flush for those heavy duty nights, lol....


Yea, headlight washers seem more suited for luxury cars. Sports cars should be about to dodge the rain drops, lol....

And to add to this - HIDs dont melt ice/snow that may form on the light housings. I noticed this after doing my first retrofit.

Additionally, they don't activate if you're just idle. If I recall, mines pop out and spray the headlights only if I'm going faster than 25mph.

They don't do that great of a job, it just sprays your headlamps with heated(in this case for Mercedes) washer solution. Think taking a spray and spraying it and letting the wind wipe it off.

Edit: I think countries in Europe require these on all cars.

Yep, FR-S doesn't have them for price reasons AND they aren't necessary in the US of A

i don't think it's a requirement in US. and since FRS doesn't have HID, it won't have it anyway.
