Default HID Pop-Up Washer Nozzles

A feature of the $600 factory HIDs that was available for the 2003-05 New Beetle.
I knew I had these, but I'd never seen them in action until yesterday:

Are they that useful? Obviously not; I haven't used them except to take a picture of them. I still sort of like them, though...

Thumbs up

thanks for posting that video, can't wait to get mine in

Im currently fitting them to my 99 beetle, using the beetle cabrio bumper and associated oem parts.

a 600$ option is cheap, you dont wanna know how much the parts cost incase you get into an accident.

front bumper 650
the 2 bumpers caps are 50 each
and the list goes on

When HID headlights are fitted, it's Federal law in Germany that headlight wash and auto leveling must also be fitted.

I like it! Thanks for posting. It's interesting how your car lowers after you get in, too.
