Side of road, lights off then wash screen. Sad but these things sometimes have to be done.

Not only are the lights affected by dirt there is a legal requiremnt to have them on HIDs, that's the reason aftermarket ones are advertised for off road use only.

Sorry guys, your adding apples and pears and coming up with oranges as an answer......

See the WIP in test on headlamps.  Dont confuse real HID with aftermarket 'xenon' H1, H4, H7 replacement lamps for projector light units.  

Realdeal HID's are fitted with a lamp washer system by the manufacturer as a legal requirement.  Washers become a grey area in the second hand fitment side of things if you have projector lamps with a 4000k, 6500k or whatever lamp fitted.

The HID lamps cost about £60 or so each but the prices are dropping.  Thats for the lamp filament, not the complete unit.  The H4 or whatever xenon filled lamps are whatever the market can stand, around a tenner each or so but again, prices are falling.

All must be 'E' market to be legal for UK on road use, as does every lamp on the vehicle.  Its one of the ways that there is to deal with a chaved up whatever with blue/green/whatever colour side lights to the front.

tomorrow is now today, has it had its sir miggy treatment in time for its photoshoot?

It comes as a bit of a shock when you use the washers for the first time after buying a Meega to find your vision is obliterated briefly by the spray on the screen thats fired from the headlamp washers!

I may look at a way of stopping them until the winter comes, disconnect the pipes and put some kind of stopper in them or disconnect the wires from the pump, I think the latter would be best.

 

It's just 1 fuse in the fusebox by the battery to kill them....

Davlad,

 The simple answer is no. I have everything in place to get pictures posted but have not yet got round to it. I also need to get some taken now that it has been lowered and the tin rot removed from the tailgate and back door.
