That is by far the gayest feature to be offered on our cars. I'm soooooo glad I didn't order it with my car.

yes, I have the headlight washers also on my IS350. I have not used them yet, they came on the car that had a lot of options on it. They really can't be very useful, probably more a conversation piece than anything else.

In Europe, all cars that come with Xennon headlights from factory, must have headlight washers too. It is some kind of regulations. Also, all factory xennon headlights must be equipted with autoleveling..

Mine has it--I couldn't find one w/the Lux Pkg that didn't also have them. This past winter in PA had very little snow, so I still have not had the chance to see if they really work. They are kinda silly--2 little bumps in front of the headlights, that pop up kind of like a sprinkler head.

Have it on my 05 RX. Used it once. Have it on my 03 E46, and used it a couple of times. Useless option, hence don't have it on my E92. Plus, I don't like the fact that you get washer fluid all over the hood. Fluid can't be good for the paint.

Ah..good for you MLIAISON for saving your money up for an '09. Once I got my Z paid off, I saved my $$$$$ for half of 06 - December 07 for my 08 IS. If you you're financing the car, you'll get a better rate with a bigger down payment.
