Looks cool to me...but what's going to wipe off the fluid after you've sprayed it on there?

nsantos23 · Post by **nsantos23** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 3:55 pm

you dont have to wipe off, the pressure of the fluid and the movement of the car will spread the fluid around, just like in the audi.

good idea.

I always liked the little wipers on the volvos

Very cool.

Where did you get a high-pressure pump to work it?

How much XT6 stuff did you use to rig those up?

also try to run the hoses close to the inside part of the radiator, that way you get heated fluid in the winter.....

Hmm, you're probably going to want a higher-pressure pump... The stock windshield washer pump isn't nearly strong enough to effectively spray dirt off, especially when it's split between three nozzles.

actually i was thinking more of snow and ice, like i stated if you run it by the inise part of the radiator or the lower hose you'll get a nice and toasty fluid coming out to melt the frozen crap, but again a nice high pressure pump is not a bad idea at all, maybe i'll run to the JY and pull one off a mercedes or audi heheheh

That's why I asked if you had used any XT6 stuff (XT Turbo too), because they had headlight washers.

Might wanna consider getting a pump off one of those in a yard, then you'll have much more effective washers.

What subbyluvr2212 said. At low pressure, it's not really going to do much with snow and ice either, especially with windshield washer nozzles instead of headlight washer nozzles...

If you're headed to the junkyard, look for an XT6 -- their headlamp washer pump has the same form facter as our windshield washer pump. Then look for a 2nd-gen Legacy wagon and grab the washer tank from it; it holds two separate pumps, and also can hold a full gallon of washer fluid.

You should rename this thread a brighter headlight mod.

Nice work.
