Whoaaa!
You guys have me confused now....
Chris says all you have to do is just swap out the relays, and someone else says you have to do something to the wiper stalk?
What's the whole story?
Thanks, Anthony'89 Syncro GL (Hidalgo)

whats the issue here?� you simply remove your existing #19 wiper relay and install the #99 one� in its place, and use the wiper stalk to set the intervals. 

Mr. Bentley says that it is an option on my year & shows how to 
install the option if it is not ordered that way from the factory by 
pulling the plastic piece, but of course assumes that I know how to do 
that? 
 
Maybe tomorrow? 
 
Tom-I love plug & play, kinda like big tires?
