Headlight Washers

Post by lokyt »

I replaced my standard halogen dipped beam h7's at the weekend with Philips Blue Visions. They are slightly whiter but still not impressed. Has anyone bought these for their Roc?

After I replaced the bulbs, I've used my washers to clean the windscreen. Before the bulb change when I pulled the stick towards me the lights turn off and the headlight washers do their thing along with the windscreen. Now after I replaced them the headlights don't turn off and the headlamp washers don't appear. It seems it only washes my windscreen.

Any ideas? :?

As above, headlights don't turn off when squirting and washers work about every 4th time iirc
