i can see why the amazing german engineers installed wipers on the headlight,they only work at night while the lights are on and the wiper spray cleaner is used,it may have cleaned them off a bit from fog or dirt,but in my honest opinion,i think they are the most ridiculous thing the germans added to there cars,its a bit over the edge,in mny opinion,plus its more stuff to have to fix,right now the right motor on my 89 300ce is burnt out,sometimes the spray nozzles drip a bit,when snow and ice builds up there just plain useless,however the washer fluid is heated,and the lines appear to have a heated element in them.its also funny how the drivers door mirror is manual,and the pass is electric.

I agree on the passenger power mirror thing. How odd to have one powered and one not.

Anyway, has anyone with leaky spray fluid tried running some CLR through the system? I wonder if its just build up that is causing the leaks.

Just replace the check valve and the leak will be solved. Mark

Well...if they only work when your headlights are on which are usually at night...then I can't be cool and show them working during the day unless I turn my headlights on and fix the motors. So, I will leave as is Maybe I can rig them to just squirt the car in front of me when they won't move over on the freeway?

And here's another fun German engineering question. Why can I only have one parking light work by turning my headlight switch to a certain position? Or is something wrong with my headlight switch?

Those are standing lights for marking the roadside limits of the vehicle when parking on the side of the road. When you park on the right side of the road, you would turn the light switch all the way counterclockwise to turn on only the left parking lights. When parking on the left side of the road you would turn the light switch one notch counterclockwise from vertical to turn on only the right side parking lights. Less battery drain this way (only one side parking lights and no instrument lights) and lets other drivers know that you are parked. Mark

Amazing...that must be stuff they need to have over in Europe. Good to know. I love it! Thanks for the quick response! I can now use it here if need be I didn't even know I had the options until I turned my lights off one night and clicked too far to the left and someone asked me about why I had only one parking light on
