volvos come from the land of Ice and snow.. plus many countries in Europe require washers or wipers and washers on the headlights. Look at MB, Porsche, Audi, and most higher end european cars here in the states.. even the mini has them. I beleive if you have HIDs.. it is MANDATORY in europe that you have washers.

I have them for my tib.. just not installed yet.



they are from a porsche 911... they sit flush into the top of the bumper. I am just waiting till I get the Evo knockoff that Blacktibs is producing

There's snow on the car in that pic! Just seeing that makes me want to move south. Fortunately it's been in the 70s here in VA this week. smile.gif

Most european cars have wipers or sprayers. And they don't do much, at least around these parts. Although I guess if there's snow. . .

The MINI has headlight washers but not headlight wipers, just to clairify.
