I have never owned a RX-7 with headlamp washers. When did they start putting these on? I can't pop the headlights up right now, but I'm dying to know if there is headlight wiper blades also? Anyone know? or is there just a cleaning agent squirter mechanism?

 

My 89 GXL doesn't have headlight washers. Maybe it just came out on the AE? Why don't you manually bring the headlights up so you can check it out?

 

i have an 86 GXL, and Yes it does have Squirters... they are pretty cool...

 

The headlight washers are just nozzles that spray the headlights. I think that they were only available on the 10th AE, since I have not seen them anywhere else.
The resevoir for the washers is on the drivers side of the engine bay toward the nose. Opposite of the windshield washers.
Mine have never worked since I bought the car in '97, so I dfon't know how well they work.
Good luck.

 

In the US they came on the 10th AE only, everywhere else in the world got them on all RX-7s.

 

Ahh cool.

Sort of like the electric fan rx-7s.

There's a few other things like this such as:

- OEM 2 tone paint jobs
- 10th AE nose braw (labled 10th AE)
- exterior hatch handles
- Areo A mazdaspeed sideskirts & front lip
- glass moonroofs
- 4" vs 6" hatch strut tower speakers
- aluminum vs steel hoods
- cargo cover snaps in non cargo cover cars (GTU-S)
- cargo covers in non cargo cover models
- cloth seats in the GXL (whaaa)
- lumbar/8x adj. seats in the TII (whaaa)
- front lip on non front lip models

that's all I can remember offhand. Thanks for the addition.

 

How do you pop the headlights up without electrical power? Is it safe to do?

thx

 

Look under the front bumper. There are ***** on the retractor motor. May have to pull the rubber covers off.

And no, there are no wipers. Only squirters. The reservoir on the drivers side is for the headlight washers.

 

nah they are electric, just have squirters on em.

 

Bummer, I wanna add wiper blades I need to put that on the mod list ... haha

thx for the info fellas.

 

Whoa $27000 back in the day. Most of the stuff listed is not on other FC's.

The headlight washers are pretty strong and will spray anyone walking near the front of the car.

 

Out the door price is below that (on the pic) ... $26,997 ... thats pricey by todays standards much less in 88.

 

Not true, all the FC’s here are ex-Japan and I’ve never seen one with headlight washers.

 

my 87 GXL has the fully adjustable drivers seat tilts and lumbar its cloth or that velvet lookin stuff.
