Subject:Headlight washers for winter driving
From:(Christopher j. Pierce)

hello folks.

Yesterday as I was doing some work on my westy, I came up with a bright idea.
some may want to try this if you live in a place like Vermont. If some of you
dont know in the winter the slush and dirt and salt in the winter, form a
terrible film on the headlight lenses and causes decreased lighting.
SO IN ORDER TO REMEDY THIS: I went to my "parts" van and took the windsheild
squirters from it. I then went to local HM DPT. and purchased vinyl tubing
and junctions to tap into existing line. I then mounted the Squirters on the
lower corner of the plastic grille and aimed them towards the lights,(the
nozles are adjustable so I fine tuneds em later) ... and I added enough xtra
line so I can remove the grille and service anything without the hassle of
removing the lines.
It works extremely well. and keeps the lights WICKED clean... If anyone has
time o thier hand try it .. It took all of 60 minutes start to finish.
and looks Factory.

Good luck and

CHeers

Chris
