Headlamp washers...
Having read a lot about the infamous headlamp washers... has anyone tried...
removing them & replacing with the same units (colour coded) that are mounted on the bonnet for the windscreen - a sleek look achieved whilst retaining the washers??

Im not near the car to check though!
If I know Honda, the blocks are probably some trick aerodynamically designed platform to aid airflow or somethig

When you remove the washer there are two big square holes underneath.
I have only seen one car where each of the whashers have been exchanged for a couple of washers from another car.

I know a lot of people disable the switch, but don't want to go for the JDM look due to MOT regulations, so I thought this could be a way out. They may not perform as good as the correct washer unit, but it'll be legal. (of course this would entail having the holes filled and painted, then smaller holes drilled - or fit suitable headlamp washers from another marque.)

That looks very nice - how come it isn't more popular? I suppose most people don't care that much - too busy drivin' !! Out of interest, anyone know which model BM was it from?

While I'm here... are there any suitable 'blanks' (preferably square - so it looks OEM) that can fit over the holes when the washer unit is removed?
