Default Answer to your question

They are lens sprayer, if your headlights get muddy or just dirty, it spits out water or cleaning solution. US doesn't carry those, but i believe Canada does.

Porsches (atleast carrera's) have these and they work great. My dad's 2002 carrera heats the solution (cleanser w/ anti-freeze) then pressure sprays the windsheild and head lights in order to melt any ice that may have formed. I think that is a great idea.

Many BMW and Mercedes models also have headlight sprayers. A useless accessory, IMO. Just another thing to break on those German machines...

I got those. I live in Canada and they actually extend out from the bumper spray both lights then retract back into the bumper. Kinda cool.

Useless or not, it is an extra option. And believe me, I LOVE buttons and would love it if my GS300 came with that option!

They actually would be of some significant benefi. HID's light scatter is bad enough when lens are crystal clear; when dirty, it's worse for oncoming traffic. And obviously, when really grimy, any headlight is less effective.

Default is that your car?

Hi MCGONG,

Is that your car on the signature block?? That is the explosion body kit right? What kind of fog light did you put in there?

I have those, actually all GS have them here since HIDs are standard on all GS.
