p.s. People who get this from factory try to disable this feature. People who don't have it, retrofit it

Personally I thought i had it in my SE bumper, until I had the sport fitted, and was told I just had blanks, unfortunately the caps I had painted with the bumper are designed for the headlamp wash, now I either buy caps for the msport and have them painted or fit the kit that I am told is around £130, I deem fitting the kit is the better option as I will be fitting the xeon headlamps at some stage, and it will fail an mot without the wash in the UK

I have fitted this kit and trust me it`s not for the faint hearted, the official instructions state that the whole front bumper needs removing but you can get around this if you don`t mind taking the skin of off your knuckles.

It also requires removal of the near side wheel arch in order to fit the 5 ltr water bottle. If you decide to go ahead with it I can offer some kind of help if you live nearby plus I can do the coding as well for you, let me know.

It`s actually a legal requirement in the whole of the EU for xenon head lamps to have a some kind of washer system fitted.
