I was looking at the shop manuel and I saw "headlight cleaner" , Im justr curius to know which model was equip with it.
also does anybody know how to clean the insides of the head light, can it be done??

 

Canadian spec. Also I would think Euro spec cars would have them as well.

I believe these are external cleaners. That spray fluid to the outside of the lamps.

 

Canada models.

 

canadian touring model

 

any pics? Is it possible to retrofit them onto us models?

 

it would be possible i guess but what would be the point? it's not like it is useful...

 

Does this require an additional fluid tank or does it just use the front wiper tank? Might make for a good IC sprayer tank and switch

The fluid washer tank is located in the back/trunk. It supplies fluid for the rear sprayer, the windshield sprayers, and the headlight sprayers.

The headlight sprayers only serve a function to get the whole car dirty with little water droplets.

They are very very powerful, but I never use them.

The intercooler sprayer idea is stuck in my mind.

I am more interested in the front washer fluid tank and installing that and using it as a separate reservoir for a washer sprayer.

I recently changed my headlight washers over to an intercooler sprayer. It is not finished but it should work well as soon as I make a duct to mount the sprayers and choose a final sprayer type. The ones I have now do not focus the spray enough.

The headlight washer system actually uses twin pumps and runs out of the resevoir in the back of the car. They can drain the tank very quickly. They are very noisy too.

 

eh? my car has a washer tank upfront and not in the back... although I have an R1 with no rear wiper..

 

Yes, cars with rear wipers have an extra washer fluid tank in the back.

 

it sounded like he said that was the only one (I thought it would have just been extra to the cars with the rear wiper like you said).. hence that it supplies the fluid for the rear sprayer, the windshield sprayers, and the headlight sprayers. just confused me.

 

HEHEH! Just to confuse you even more...

Those of us with headlight washers have a single gigantic tank in the back, which supplies the headlight washers, rear washer and the windsheild washer. We do not have a tank in the front and our windsheild washer motor is in the back of the car as well. If you have a service manual you can check it out.

If you have a rear washer with out headlight washer, you will have a tank and motor in the front for the windsheild and a small tank and motor in the back for the rear washer.

My car is a Canadian touring model, so I have 4 pumps in the back of my car; 1 to supply the windsheild washer, 1 for the rear window washer and 2 for the headlight washers. They all draw from a single large tank, which I put 4 litres of water in one day without coming close to the top. It wasn't empty at the time either.

Until I hooked mine up as an intercooler sprayer I hadn't turned any of them on even once.

 

Can anyone confirm if the Australian and/or UK models had this ?

Euro FD's have them, I suspect UK FD's are the same as EUDM FD's except for RHD

 

AU parts manual has a listing for both the local and UK rhd market, so all bases are covered.

 

I'm showing two part numbers:

FD07-51-812B (AU)
FD13-51-812B (UK)

What part number does the AU parts manual show ?

Thanks,

I also found a picture of my centre console, the middle button is for the washers

 

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh i finally know where to fill my washer fluid tank at. there was not one under the hood when i got my car. this helped me tons.

 

Haven't got it in front of me, was a request for the washer switch # shown above, nozzle number I've written down in that response FD13-51-820.

 

What is the red light below the shifter?

and what is the adjuster that is set to 0?

 

I'm guessing that the adjuster is for headlight leveling.

No idea what the red light is, though it appears to look OEM.

The headlight washer switch appears in US parts lists, but Ray tells me that they have been discontinued.
