You'll have holes left in the bumper. Unless you want to have them filled and your bumper painted, I would just leave them there.

I'm in the process of swapping my front bumper for a JDM one which has no washer jets (or plateholder )

They are currently disabled by fuse reomoval any way

well, as you posted this Q i am assuming you are form Europe - as we do not have headlight washers over here.

IIRC European law is that you need to have headlamp washers (and self levellers for that matter) on all cars running HID lights.

When I lived in the UK, I never actually had a car older than 3 years old so i wouldnt know - but my Q is would you pass the MOT test (or TUV in Germany) if you removed them?

mikey k

Yes - they are never tested by the MOT station.

Not sure they are ever tested on individual cars, they are not on the PDI.

But you are right - it is EU legislation that means we get the warts

BTW how's living in the US compare to the UK?

cheaper



btw...thanks for the clarification on the MOT thing.

its ok about the test stuff. they dont test anything here . But i see that it looks better without them . i can get my bumper filled , its easy. the point is , is it hard to get rid of them?

its not hard to get rid of - just unbolt them from the bumper.

youll also want to disconnect the tubing for the jets from the washer lines - or direct it towards curbside and hit unsuspectiing pedestrians

I removed mine a long time ago.

I removed the pump and sealed the hole on the washer tank
