[freemo77]

i was trying to get myself some washer blanks and they are alot more expensive than you probably think, around £80 second hand on here

You dont even need to remove the bumper to take them out.

Unsure what other parts you need, just hope you have a friendly MOTer

The blanks are very expensive so I'd buy new washers as they're only 13 quid each. There's instructions for removing the bumper in guides section

o right didnt know its ilegal not to have them someone said about mots? take it alot easier just to replace do they actually work new ones or just block up and ruin a nice clean caR? cheers

Xenon lamps need washers to pass a MOT.

They are easy enough to replace, My brother and i did mine about 6 weeks ago in about 30minutes, WITHOUT even removing the bumper.

I think I remember reading somewhere it's to stop a build up of crud causing the light pattern to be affected. So in effect cleaning the headlights should stop the pattern becoming deformed and blinding on-coming drivers.

And to stop the heat from the Xenon bulb melting the lens should it become dirty.

Xenon's don't NEED washers to pass MOT.

 

[Greeny.]

Xenon's don't NEED washers to pass MOT.

Offically they do if they are from the factory? I dont care either way tbh as the place ive taken mine to 3 times have always put it through and one of mine used to spray in the wrong direction, I think the tester would have to be extremely anal to fail you for them not work, needless to say ive disconnected my pump and routed the tubing into itself to stop the f**king things leaking constantly.

 

[stacky]

so guys seriously how easier to replace with new ones or blank off ie what to do with tubing, valves?
