I has to be better to fix the fault - the systems are fitted to HID headlights to prevent other road users being dazzled, which has to be  a good thing.

Have to disagree, on the 3.2 if driven for a while. I can see a noticable improvement at night when washed, makes a big difference IMHO  :y

 I have to agree with sassanach with regards to washer system. if you jet was a dirty car and then let it dry the car will still be dirty, you need to activly disturb the grime to remove it and generaly on the headlights it will be a wiper then spray with screen wash.

Me as well Gary & Sass , always thought the Omega headlamp washer  system to be a bit of a novelty rather than effective  ::) ::)

I find they make a difference, as much of that November time grim doesn't get engrain before you wash it.

Trouble is, it soon empties the bottle (for those who leave them fully functional before Andy B pipes up ;D)
