I Mentioned this in another tread not many pp read http://www.rx8forum.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=15865
The little square/retangle looking things under the headlights of the silver car are headlight washers they are motorized and pop up to wash ur headlights like porche has.

That's my favorite pic so far (because of the color). I hope the lamp washers stay in the US version, but I have doubts.

So long as there is HID I really don't care one way or another.. I just want the HID headlamps.

I may be in the minority here but I don't particularly like the headlamp washers in that RX-8 pic. I dunno, they seem particularly large and mess up the clean lines of the face. I would just as soon not have the healdamp washers and keep a towel in the trunk than mess up that pretty pretty face.

I agree with tallguylehigh. It ruins the lines of the front end. They need to be more flush.

Hercules

I personally don't mind them... it serves a purpose and most cars that have them aren't flush either

I also don't like the headlamp washers either. Since I first saw them on other cars I wonder about how effective they are because their is nothing to actually scrub the dirt off.

tallguylehigh

No, it just sprays a ridiculous amount of washer fluid at high pressures onto the headlights, which then continues to splatter off onto the hood, windshield and what-have-you :D

When I lived in the Northeast, headlight washers were really useful for removing the layer of salt and dirt that accumulated during winter months. You'd be surprise how dim your lights can get after a couple miles driving through slush. I guess I have no need for them anymore. Maybe they should make these a regional option.
