Head Light Jets

[mrlukefulton]

hi,

I have head light jets built into my bumper on my is200 (51 plate) but cant for the life of me figure out how to figure out how or if they work.
I've followed instructions saying to have your lights on the press the washer jets but just my wind screen jets work squirt, is it a big job if the jet pumps are non existent?

Also my Girl friend has one of those new Peugeots and her wind screen jets produce a mist covering the whole wind screen instead of the direct jet of water, and since im going to be respraying my bonnet quite soon im wondering whether I can get a set and install them weather they will work?

cheers

Luke

hi, there is a switch next to the rear fog light switch that operates the headlight washers,switch on your lights and press this switch,if they are in working order they should spray your headlights with a blast of water/screen washer.

[scudney]

as for the wind screen washer jets,yes you can get the mist type and yes they will work,you can pm ACLex and he should be able to assist.

Let us know how the new wind screen jets go.. I may be interested :)

[mrlukefulton]

right I looked for the switch but as you see on the picture the switch is non existent, so next thing im thinking is how can I install one? and get a system to work? Im an IMI trained stereo fitter so I shouldn't be difficult to wire something up. but without help im flying blind.

[mrlukefulton]

ummm how do u add pictures?

[Funky_Monkey]

The easiest way is to post them up on tinypic.com or any other hosting site the embedding them into the post :)

[mrlukefulton]

Tidy, here it is....

Any thoughts?

[Funky_Monkey]

Appears to have been covered up, poss the last owner had a different bumper without light washers?.. Try taking that cap off in the middle see what it reveals?

[mrlukefulton]

ohhhhh the plot thickens.... Out with the hammer and chisel. lol

Il get back to you.

[Funky_Monkey]

should just pull out unless he's glued it in there i would assume

[Gruntfuggly]

That's quite a neat little coin holder! If you don't want it, I'll take it off you...

[mrlukefulton]

if I can sort out my head light jets im sure we can work summin out. I'm actually sorting out my Front Hub bearings, my flanges are both warped and keeps warping my disks, so I'm just changing both Front Hub Bearings. More flipping money. All good fun. But she's totally worth it. though im wanting to do I break fluid change, but don't know weather I should get my garage to do it or do it my self, if my self, what's the best device to change it with?

[mrlukefulton]

so the cap pulled off just as you presumed Funky_Monkey and I found a plug. its a flat 4 pin plug, so now its just finding a switch that the plug fits and fingers crossed it will work, I know its a long shot but a switch is what only what a couple of quid?

Gruntfuggly if you have a switch do you want to trade? coin holder for switch?

[mrlukefulton]

This is the plug and my fingers... (-:

It is rather steep Luke, if you understand wiring i can send you some diagrams.

[IHgs300]

EDIT>>>If you bridge the red wire with blue stripe and the blue wire with white stripe you should hear see pump working ....if fitted.

[mrlukefulton]

yeh, deffo. would really appreciate it.

[IHgs300]

See my last post mate, found wire colours for you, can send full diagram if you need it pm me your email address .

regards Ian.

[mrlukefulton]

awesome, will do that in the morning... cheers.im assuming I bridge them the press the normal washer jet button on the stick. well that's what I was told.. oh and ian does it use he same washer bottle as the normal jets?

[scudney]

the button on the wiper switch only operates the windscreen washers jets and not the headlight washers.

[IHgs300]

Yes it uses the same bottle as washer jets, you don't have to press washer stalk as well. but the lights have to be on.

[mrlukefulton]

right I will do it tomorrow. thanks for that.

Will update you as I know.

Luke
