The two under the headlights are pressure washers, a requirement where HID headphones are installed. Unfortunately, in my extensive experience, they are a complete waste of time, I’ve never known them to shift anything but water. The headlights seem just as dirty after a pressure wash as before. I suppose they might shift wet mud. My headlights have pressure jet washers, just one per headlamp. They seem to work. After nearly 20 years and four cars with them I have never seen them make any difference. Sure they spray a lot of water but I’m not convinced they do any cleaning. |

Good for persistent tail-gaters. |

Keeps the main dealers is little, but expensive, jobs, I suppose.
Thanks for the info.
Nothing much to go wrong, high pressure water causes them to open by forcing them to slide forward out of the bumper covers. They only work when the wash wipe function is used and the head lights are on, my only gripe is the huge amount of screen wash they get through. |

It's nowhere near as cool as the wee headlight wipers you used to get though. |

When headlights had flat fronted glass lenses and were designed to illuminate the road ahead rather than be a fashion statement. |

Wipers would scratch plastic rather quickly hence pressure washers. |
