Hi all,

I have installed a M5 replica bumper almost three months ago and even tough I am very happy with the look I recently encountered a problem with the headlight washer covers located in the bumper.

First, I have lost one and not being sure what happened with it I ordered and installed the second one. After couple of days I lost it too

For all the time I have been thinking that headlights washers are activated in a special way ( did not know exactly how but special ) and I did not think that that may cause the problem.

Trying to avoid a problems with the third one I glued it to the bumper Everything looked very nice until today I washed my windshield and than on a parking lot I realized that it activated the headlight washers too. One (for some reason only on driver's side) nozzle came out and broke the glued cover and I almost lost the third cover For some reason it did not go back either and was sticking out from that cut out in the bumper

Is there any way to disable the headlights washers (I don't care for them) or prevent them from coming out and messing with those covers in the bumpers? Anyone has the same problem with M5 replica front bumper?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Also, they only seem to come on when the headlights are ON. You could just turn OFF your headlights when you activate it Have fun doing that cruising down the interstate at night.
