What are those square shape cuts in the bumper just in front of the headlights ? I thought they washed the lights but I couldnt get them to work with the wipers. Anyone ?

They are the covers for the headlamp washers, but are actually in place on all bumpers - whether the car has washers or not. Check whether your car was specced with or without headlamp washers.

Adding your location and the specs of your car would help answer these questions.

If, like me, you don't have that option you will have the cut-outs, but not the washers ... effectively, nothing happens.

Consider yourself lucky that nothing happens...lol.
I have the CWP and I absolutely HATE the headlight washers...they get the entire front end of the car FILTHY. I've never had a need to wash off the headlights....
