Default How to Retrofit headlight washers

Hi,

Did anyone retrofit headlight washers on their IS? I don't have them and would like to have them installed because during the winter I get so much road salt buildup on the headlights that by the time I'm half way home, I can't see a damn thing.

I know the 3rd gens have chrome tip nozzles that stick out permanently whereas the 2nd gens have a cover that pops out for the nozzle.

I've seen people retrofitting Hella nozzles on their VW's.

Wish I could trade places with you; I don't use nor care for the headlamp washers on my 2IS.

I'm with gville350 on this, the headlamp washers suck, so much that I pulled the fuse for them so they won't come on anymore!

Hmmm. I found this http://goo.gl/8p1aG7
but don't want to drill my bumper. I don't think there's even room in the IS for another tank.

I wonder if I can use this http://goo.gl/FVolrE
and somehow have the nozzles attached to the top of the headlights to spray downward instead.
