    Headlamp washer on GTE?

    I'm about to order a new one to complement the other new one. But.....they're the first thing to snap off, I've removed the washer tank, and I don't think that they look that good.

    So, what do you reckon?

    I was about to vote "no" in my own poll. But I looked at this picture of my GTE the day I picked it up and I think the washer jets look OK. As long as they're colour coded.

    As just discussed on the phone Tom, keep em, they break up the bumper. You remove too much and the car will look too plain.

    They only work when you wash the windscreen when your headlights are on..... ive taken the pipes off the back of mine and had one knocked off by some knob in our street , i got another one but when I get the bumper painted they are coming off altogether ... less hassle more smooth.
    I only realised I was dyslexic when I turned up at a toga party dressed as a goat...........

    They're not going to work! I removed the bottle and pipework years ago.

    They are of dubious vale anyway even when they do work, spray cold water onto hot glass in the winter? And without a wiper on the lense it is not going to do much good anyway!
