Xenon washers needed?
Hi,
Didn't managed to find anything in the forum. Thing has been bugging me. I'm trying to put together my (second) final order and I can save a few bucks by not taking the xenon washers. Is it really needed? It looks like it is possible to order Xeonon without washers these days. I presume there is some logic in the washers, but normal lights don't have it. Hence, I'd like to be sure what the logic is behind those couple hundred EUR for the washers? If anybody knows Thanks, |

Yep, halogens melt snow off xenons don't so you need the washers. They are a legal requirement in the UK

if you purchased the xenon package the washers go together with xenon lights!
at least in Greece the xenon packege includes washers in one price for all!

It's not only snow, it's also dirt and salt other stuff that HAS to be washed off.
Since Xenon light is bright it might get reflected on those particles into the eyes of the oncoming traffic - therefore xenon's have to be very clean |
