I'm sure it cant be hard to plumb in a system from another car if you dont fink Nova bits though.

Mr Meritlover, would you like to sit on my front bumper and wash my headlights on demand? I feel this would be an excellent mod for my nova, everyone will be jealous.

To be fair headlight washers arent a very effiecient way of cleaning lights anyway, unless they are accompanied by wipers like on old BMs & sierras etc. It would be like squirting your screen but not wiping them! I have them on the Lexus and even being violent pop up ones, they still need a good wipe down every few days in winter months.

I use mine more for soaking pedestrians or annoying people who are right up my ****.

some pop-out headlight washers would be pretty trick i reckon

quite easy too as they just use the pressure of the water to pop up.

Headlight washers are just extra tat to add on tbh, much like wind defectors, mud flaps, bee sting aerials & headlamp protectors.

VW boys call it OEM+ I believe.

To be fair the VW boys are the trend setter when it comes to modding cars.
