Ok cheers
Is that every time that the screen is washed the lights will wash
I’ve got a golf and headlights will wash every 4th cycle of the screen being washed
Thanks

Think it's the third time

But dune cars have it every tenth time as well

As long as they work that's the main thing

Interesting Post.

If i may add to it?

I want to add the headlight wipers to my non cossie sapph. I have the wiper motors.

What else is needed?

Does it run off the same circuit as the main wipers? I assume it needs a special relay with fuse etc?

Can it be easily done?

Cheers

there will be a diagram somewhere that shows what's what

but it's a bit more than just some wires from memory as there's a relay and stuff in the box plus you've got another pump in the washer tank

Here is the wiring diagram. Not sure off hand the difference of each page but it is usually High spec, low spec, left and right hand drive. Will probably be able to confirm when I have been home but shouldn't make much difference for what you want.

This shows what each of the 4 pages in the diagrams above covers.
