Headlight Wipers? was created by roscoepcoltrane
Any idea if it's possible to fit headlight wipers to a Jimny?

I've got a few concerns...

- Where would i mount them? On all the old Volvo's and BMW's it seems there's still a section of flush bumper under the headlight you can mount it flat to, whereas on a Jimny the bumper sits/stick straight out from under the headlights
- Could I get a switch going straight to my dash rather than connecting to my current wiper switch? I thought about connecting them to the same switch as the rear wipers but I'd prefer not to f*ck up my wiring/fuse box - And as good as it sounds connecting them to the front wiper arm/switch, with it's variable speed it seems a lot of stress to put on such a small component.
- Does anybody else think these look cool? Or just me? ;)

With plastic lights you normally just have washers.

I used to have a kit knocking about somewhere, two large nozzles and big pipes for the bumper, a bladder for the water, a high volume pump and a timer relay.
Every time they activated the pump squirted 150ml of water out of each jet in a great fan that blasts the dirt off. As the bladder only held about half a gallon, that gives you around 5 squirts to empty, which is why the kit was knocking around for ages......

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
