    NOVA 1.6 16v + Vectra GSI
    GSI ones fit, astra gte ones dont!. Dont fit them they are pointless, especially seeing how nova's dont like water around that area! Dont clean the lights either, so they really are pointless!

    I dont know anyone with them fitted who have them functional. They are usually cosmetic. I fitted them because I feel they give the nova a "high spec" look.

    I'm going to have mine functional on the new nova tho.

    Getting them to work shouldnt really be that hard,
    Either run them off the washer pump, thru a single tube down to behind the grille,
    single T peiece...

    Or fit an 2nd washer bottle with a larger pump, with a larger tubing size to get more water thru,
    I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.

    it would be good to get them working but give it a year and my front panel will be rotten under the headlights no doubt, going to check ebay for bits

    Yeah,
    But then you could rid them to a co2 bottle, and have them spray a small jet out gas out...
    like a purge valve.. just for laughs...
