High pressure headlight washers set. Installation of automotive headlights as a warranty of road safety

Technologies are moving forward, and now almost for each car is possible installation of headlight washers. Avtotechzetre "Barracuda", please offer its customers this service, below you can get acquainted with the prices for installation. We produce installation of headlight washers of the following companies: Show-Me and Hella.

Installation of plagule washers is considered at the moment a very popular service. On many imported cars, headlamp washers are included in the basic configuration, it is undoubtedly comfort and additional protection of the driver and passengers. Everyone agrees that in the rain or snow, it is extremely difficult to move around the highway. The headlights quickly become dirty, and you have to spend time to stop, in order to clean them. By installing the installation of headlights, you will forget about this problem, because it will be enough for you to push the button and the headlights will become clean in seconds.


Installing the rear view camera, has become a very popular service, as it allows the driver to feel behind the wheel of the car as comfortable as possible. Despite all the advantages of the rear and front chambers, they are as much as possible pollution. And the question begins - as quickly as possible, effectively and safely clean it from dust and dirt that goes around while driving?

The problem is solved - setting the camera washer. We set the forage both on the front view cameras and the rear view cameras. According to the design, this device resembles the headlight washer, has a more compact nozzle and connects to the standard rear and windshield washer systems.


* - The cost is shown on the installation of the camera washer with equipment.

After installing xenon to the Middle Light (collective farm), I decided to install the Faromater. I decided to stay on the famous manufacturer - Hella. We have a K-CT for installation, everything that is there is there, the tank bought separately from the gas family:

Extra. The tank installed in the empty niche of the front bumper on the left. After marking for the installation of nozzles, laying the liner hoses.

The liner to the tank made from the D-2 hose through the thaws under the battery. Top while so with funnel. The inclusion button made a separate one, which is not connected when I wanted, then turned on ...

It turned out like this.

When moving on the track, the air flow breaks up the liquid up and cleansing is normal. Tank 5l. It really grabs 400-500km.

Installing headlight washers at Toyota Harrier ACU-15

Actually it took to buy:
1. Hella set (ordering room 8ws 008.549-001), it has almost everything you need, the price in existential is approximately 3500 rubles. (This is a set with stationary nozzles)
2. Flexible eyeliner to the sewer siphon.
3. Bag washer from GAZ-3110 (5l)
4. Changing on the washer from the VAZ-2114 with the connector (now I hope it will not be reproached that I do not support the domestic auto industry ... :))
5.DVA drill type "feather" by 20 and 17 mm (I did not find it on 17, I had to take on 16 and slightly expand a hole in the bumper)

The tank was originally planned to be put separately, for him just found a place on the left under the bumper.
It was necessary only to prepare the podium from the waterproof Finnish plywood and the fastening clamp of stainless steel.

The power button installed in the plug on the torpedo ... (seen in the photo)
The instructions proposed to catch the control wire to a regular windshield washer that in our conditions is not acceptable ...

The relay and fuse (come in the kit) also hid in the cabin behind that panel where the button was installed ...

The neck brought under the hood and secured the clamp to the TV (meaning the front panel of the body, where the radiator is attached) ... The cover came from the same tank (bought two, just in case the price is 70 rubles) only a little suited the power to be tightly ...
The second end of the eyeliner cut into the tank and seal with the pixipol ... (initially wanted to glue into a native neck but in this case the eyeliner did not fall into the hole near the spar)

In addition, it had to shorten the air intake nozzle, which goes to the air filter.

All connection schemes are included with the washer

The most important thing:
1. Do not hope that the washer is cleaning the head as Karcher ... It is only for maintaining it clean during the far road ...
2. If someone will put on Ratro Harrier / Racks, the nozzle relate as far as possible from the headlight to the front of the bumper, with this location as I have too limited adjustments (at my maximum)
On new bodies, according to the scheme, which is invested in the packing of the washer.

Are headlamps needed?!

Dirt on the headlight is absolutely not terrible in the bright time of the day for obvious reasons, but in the dark the situation is much worse. Even a small pollution significantly weakens the light flow from the headlights, which greatly worsens visibility. In addition, the light begins to dissipate on the sides, including the oncoming strip, enhancing the blinding effect on other drivers. All this significantly reduces traffic safety!

How to avoid this? One way is very simple, reliable and the budget - wipe the headlights, in advance prepared and moistened with a cloth. Yes, this is a sure way, but he has many minuses. First, it is inconvenient, because It is necessary to stop periodically, leave the car in the rain and wipe. And on the track it is dangerous at all, because Rained in the rain is very cunning in the rain and you can easily fly into a cuvette. With long journeys, in general, at all at all, it's not to get into and the likelihood of such troubles is significantly increasing. Secondly, the rag quickly becomes dirty and begins to smear the dirt, and the water pipes to your car, unfortunately, did not spend yet.

Of course, it is possible to do radically - do not ride in the dark in rainy weather, but not many will decide on such a decisive step.

Fortunately, there is another way out - install headlight washer!

But I immediately warn it, it does not guarantee that the cleanliness of the headlights that the same wet rag will provide you at the initial stages of its use. But this will significantly improve the state of affairs and increase comfort.

Types of washer

There are two types of headlight plans - low pressure with cleaner brushes (with janitor) and inkjet (high pressure).

Washers of the first type, if they are not provided for by the design of the car, it is quite difficult to install yourself, as, however, and on the service, because Requires essential mechanical alterations.

And the complexity, as a rule, is to fasten the engines of janitors and their adaptation to a specific headlight. And if the headlight is not simple (the glass of the scatterer), it becomes impossible at all.
Therefore, we, perhaps, will be interested in the second type of washer - inkjet. They are much more aesthetic and easier to install and maintain.

Choosing a set of the Faromywner

But stop, hurry slowly! Come on for the beginning to your car and carefully look at the design of the glasses (glass is conditionally, because it can be plastic, just so habitually call the diffuser) headlights and the upper surface of the bumper - it is fundamentally important, since You will need to decide on the design of the washer.

Constructively differ washers only by the nozzles themselves. There are nozzles:

  • under a flat bumper;

  • under spherical;
  • for SUVs, i.e. Washers with high nozzles, because The headlights are higher and more.

Kits are also found specifically for Chevrolet-Niva and some variations of performances in the form of rubberized nozzles.
By the way, now there are a lot of online stores. They can be used, and it is very convenient. Moreover, it is not necessary to buy anything! What are the advantages here. It is indisputable that it is not necessary to run anywhere, everything is done without breaking away from the monitor screen.
Armed with your favorite digital, go to the car. Take a picture of one of the headlights so that the headlight is to the entire frame in the FAS, and the second photo is in the profile, so that the bumper is visible.

These photos can later show a consultant online store, which can help with the choice of a washer model.
But it can happen so that you decide and on buying online. But before you do it, read everything in the same Internet reviews about the selected online store. And even after that, do not hurry with the purchase, there are still nuances besides the type of nozzles. The most important point is the washer tank.
The fact is that in the set of headlight washer goes only the pump, and the tank is not!

Tank for headlight washer

Here the most interesting thing is whether there is an extra bed of the windshield in the regular tank of the car.

If there is no such, it is either to put an additional tank for which there is no place to be found or abandoned the venture with the washer. If the cost of domestic tanks allows you to still allow the idea of \u200b\u200bdrilling an additional hole for the pump, then in foreign cars it is not worth doing this.
If you have to inflect the installation of an additional tank, it must be put in such a place where it will not overheat and access will be available, for it needs to be filled, do not forget about it. Naturally, the tank should be placed as close as possible to the pharmaces and in no way in the trunk. The rest is easier.


Getting to install!

I hope you have already learned how the front bumper is removed?!

As a rule, on the spotlight, this center is indicated around the diffuser (on the glass). Place so that the nozzles get symmetrically. First drill the hole of the small diameter, then we increase it (drill), so in 3-4 approaches.

Drills from the front side of the bumper, and not with the rear! If you drill with the rear to squeeze a big piece of paint!

Fresh nozzle, check the reliability of its fastening. And here we find another fact. Nozzle is black, but there is no bumper!

Then after fitting, if you do not want to put up with this very inestretical fact, you will need to take off the nozzles again, remove the tank hatch (if you do not know the color number of the car) and attribute the nozzles into painting.

After the pump and nozzles are installed, you must connect the system. This is usually the system of tubes, tees and valve. All this, I think you will easily post and secure, attach according to the instructions. And then the case will be only for the electrician. Despite the fact that the system is mainly hydraulic, in it actually only one consumer of electricity - pump. But they also need to manage.

And then you will need to help the store consultant before buying.

There are two ways to connect the pump:

    To the pump of the regular washer glass. Then you will have the Faromywesters every time when the glass washer is turned on. To implement this method, the kit should include an additional relay.

    To the button that enters the headlight washer kit. The button is installed in the cabin, at the driver's seat, and activates the faromer when you press it. Then the additional relay is not required.

For me, it is more convenient for the first way, because Does not require manifolds to the salon, searching for a suitable place for the button, its fixing, which is not always possible and convenient. Yes, and search in motion this button will be difficult. In addition, I give a guarantee that you will often forget about the Faromywner.

But there are also disadvantages of this method - every time the headlights will be worn, even when it is not required, for example, during the day. This increases and very significantly the flow rate of the washing fluid. However, this is a conditional minus, because The headlights are cleansed, do not have time to jaw from dirt.

Perfectly, the washers are already standing, but what about them to operate correctly?

Operating tips

No, there is no supernatural here and use headlight washers are not harder than a simple windshield washer. It is more difficult to deal with the maintenance of the device. And here the most important rule is clean! Yes, purity, because the dirt that fell into the nozzles, the valve through the washer tank, instantly displays the device. The nozzles will stop spraying the liquid, and start just emitting the trickle.

Therefore, in the installation, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse the washer tank thoroughly, and not allow foreign bodies to enter the system.

Selling the system only with clean liquid, it is desirable not to use conventional water from under the tap. If you do not want to spend money on distilled water, then at least boil the usual. In the summer, in conventional water, it is necessary to add a neutral detergent, for example, an autosampunk to improve detergents. The fact is that ordinary water can not moisten a number of pollution, it will cause a significant deterioration in detergents. I want to pay special attention to the readers of MirSovetov on the fact that in winter it is necessary to use only non-freezing fluid, and in no case dilute it !!! The headlight washer pump does not withstand fluid frozen! This follows the following recommendation. Change the washing fluid from water to non-freeze.

Clean the nozzles periodically (wipe) and wipe the headlights themselves. Check the fluid level more often, because It will be consumed faster. The higher the level, the greater the hydrostatic pressure and the easier it will be pumping pressure to pump the pump.

Occasionally, see the reliability of the fastening of the elements, the serviceability of the wiring.

Periodically use the washer, even if dry is to maintain its performance and clean the nozzles.

Here, in fact, all the necessary minimum on the headlight washer. It is not necessary to expect from this device of sufficiency and absolutely clean washing, but it is still much better than without everything. Also, I note that the owners of the car with xenon Light Far The washer is simply necessary, given the traffic police attempts to make amendments to the technical regulations.

Smooth roads and good light from clean headlights to you !!!

Bad visibility while driving in the dark complicates movement even for an experienced driver. The reason can be a mud at the protective surface of the headlights. It has been established that the headlight contaminated up to eighty percent worsens visibility by two times. And in the case of xenon headlights, the dirt dispels the flow of light, thereby blinding drivers from the counter strip. Therefore, the installation of the headlight washer will improve visibility. Their design and the work process does not have large differences from the familiar windshield washer system.

Plant washers are divided into two types depending on their cleaning process:

  • Brush washer (the washing liquid is supplied with low pressure and wipers that are cleaned by the headlight);
  • Inkjet washer (liquid is supplied under high pressure).

The first view has small wipers in its design with brushes, which are located on the spotlight. This type of cleaners is used exclusively for glass headlights, as the plastic headlight does not like frequent friction (with friction formed scratches and deep scratches).

In the process of working on the glass, a certain amount of fluid is supplied, and the motor starts the mechanism with brushes, which remove dirt. The disadvantage of such a system is its limitation - only for a glass surface. Also, this mechanism is more difficult to install on the car yourself, rather than inkjet. The second type of more versatile is quite simple, because it can be used for all types of surfaces and can be installed independently.

The rejection process is that the water jet under the high pressure is supplied to the cleaning surface. The headlight is cleaned due to the pressure and a certain amount of water supplied (200 ml).

Complete set of the washer consists of:

  1. Tank (barrel) for fluid. Very often for cleaning glasses and headlights use liquid from one tank. But, some drivers prefer to set an additional container for washing the headlights offered in the configuration;
  2. Fluid hoses. The size of the hoses (length and diameter) depends on the water supply and cleaning system. They are connected using special connectors in which the check valve is installed;
  3. Pump to create pressure when the fluid is supplied;
  4. Control unit and its components;
  5. Nozzles can be solitary and double, it depends on what area they are washed. Also, according to the degree of visual visibility, these elements can be divided into two types.
    • Stationary. The installation is made on the car bumper. Their visible presence can change the appearance of the car slightly. Before installing them, you need to think about their location.
    • Telescopic. The installation of such nozzles will make them imperceptible to prying eyes, and maintain the former type of car. The advantage is the presence of an optimal angle of cleansing and selecting the distance from the nozzle to the headlight. The only disadvantage can be considered the fact that the wrath cover can try in the cold period of the year.

The system management occurs in two types:

  • Forced feed. Turning on and off the washer occurs when the reserved button is pressed on the control panel. This method is useful in that it is possible to control the flow rate of the water;
  • Automatic water supply to the headlights occurs when the wiper lever is held in a specific time or after a certain amount of inclusions of windshield cleaning. The inkjet cleaning device is most often installed in the process of creating cars.

Before buying and installing cleaners, the first thing you need to get acquainted with the model and design of your headlights. Since under a specific model you can purchase a suitable option. Differences of washers can be in the sizes of their elements. For example, nozzles can be both for smooth and for the spherical surface of the bumper. Among the many manufacturers, Sho and Hella can be considered more famous.

Phased installation

Installation of the headlight washer involves drilling in the bumper holes for the elements of the washer. You need to drill from the back side, as it is necessary to save the paint. There is still a nuance - the color of the nozzles. If your bumper is black, and they have excellent color, they can be repainted. If you are not confident in the color number of your car, remove the cover from the refueling tank (the one that the gun is inserted while inserted) and use the injectors to the malarier. You also need to check the availability of additional space in the tank under the pump. If not - we put additional. By the way, under the tank you need to choose where it will not heat up and to conveniently fill. Its installation should be made in the headlight area.

Installation of Hella headlights begins with the removal of the bumper. How to remove it, you can read in the instructions for the car. If it is not, then you will have to deal with this personally. Look under the car and carefully inspect everything. Next, you need to put the pump in the tank for the liquid. After the pump is successfully placed, proceed to installing the nozzles. These elements need to be installed opposite the headlights in the bumper. Pre-mark the markup to observe the symmetry. Hole under the nozzles do less if that they can then increase. Remember: you need to drill from the back side. Insert the nozzles and fix it, after which you check the fastening for strength. Next, connect the rest of the system (hoses, valves, tees). Perform an assembly according to the instructions, it is not difficult to do, the main thing is to observe accuracy and be careful.

The next step is the connection of electronics. From all elements to electronics you need to connect only the pump.

  • If the pump is placed in the overall tank, the headlight washer will work together with the windshield janitor. In order for it to work independently, an additional relay is installed.
  • You can also run the washer from the button that comes in the kit.

To connect the connection, you can use the instruction that is attached to the cleaner.

Several useful tips:

  • Only a new liquid must be used to clean the glasses. It is advisable to use distilled water, you can boil out of the tap. In the liquid you can add detergent, for example, a car shut-off. In winter, use the "Antizarzayka", the pump cannot cope with frozen water and can break. From time to time, check the fluid level, as it will now be used more;
  • Conduct preventive work, so you will support the system in good condition.

There is also an additional cleaning of some car elements. For example, the rear view camera washer installation will allow the driver to avoid random damage to the rear bumper.

Installing the headlight washer will be an excellent improvement in your car. Completely execute its installation and make prevention. The washer will serve for a long time. Good luck. And let every headlight always be clean.

Video "Installation of the retractable fatigue"

Visual video allowance for installing a retractable forage.

It's no secret that bad visibility on the road negatively affects the quality of ride even the most professional driver. But the reason for this can be not only weather conditions, but also a dirty optics of a car that reduces the amount of light feed on the road. Pollution on xenon headlights, for example, lead to strong refraction and dispersion of the light stream, which, as a result, blinds the oncoming drivers. The usual headlights reduce their performance doubled at all if their purity is reduced to eighty percent. It is for the struggle for the transparency of the optics of cars and was invented by the engineering minds washer headlights, subsequently becoming one of the most useful additional devices for any vehicle.

Set for installing headlight washer

Types of car power

Car headlights are available manufacturers of two materials:

The first type of diffusers gradually believes, giving way to the palm of championship to a more practical second. It should be noted that the washers for different types of headlights differ from each other. And design, and a way of work.

Difference mechanisms

Glass headlamps in mass production are practically not found in bulk production. Therefore, to find a washer for such a type of equipment on sale is pretty difficult. But still.

The mechanism of such a device is brush. Brushes cleansing the headlight surface, controls a special motor. And the water is fed to the surface of the optics of a small jet through such a device as a headlight washer nozzle. The brush washer is similar to the work of the windshield washer. But, as already mentioned, such a design is found very rare today.

Another thing, inkjet washer. It is intended for headlights made of plastic and very popular today. The thing is that plastic optics does not make friction, so this kind of washer is a great way out of the situation. And how the headlight washer works in this case, consider below.

At once, the inkjet mechanism consumes about two hundred grams of fluid, which is fed to the surface of the headlight, cleaning it from the contamination of the pressure force. Thus, no additional cleaning devices are applied here. And since the windshield washer and the machine headlights work from one container, we can conclude that it is possible to "wash" the diffusers as simple water (relevant in summer) and special means containing alcohol (do not freeze fluids in winter).

Important components

The design of the inkjet mechanism consists of the following elements:

  1. Washing liquid tank. Its volume is tied to the number of nozzles in the washer and varies from 2.5 to 4 liters.
  2. Connecting hoses. Their total length is usually from two to four meters. This indicator, as well as the diameter, directly depend on the injection of liquid injection and its duration. The hoses are bonded between themselves with plastic connectors, in one of which the check valve is installed.
  3. Pump, providing a pressure of 0.2-0.5 MPa. It is included in the electrical structure of the car.
  4. Nozzle. May be single and twined, which depends on the washydown area. In addition, nozzles are:
  • Stationary. This is when the mechanism is installed directly on the car bumper. Such elements are not hidden from prying eyes and can change the appearance of the machine slightly. And not always for the better. That is why before installing the stationary mechanism, it should be coordinated with the design of the vehicle model. Then the nozzles will look harmoniously.
  • Telescopic. Such devices are in inactive condition are hidden under a special lid and completely invisible others. But they are popular not only therefore. The fact is that telescopic nozzles are distinguished by the optimal angle of spraying the cleansing fluid on the headlight and the distance to it. The only negative point in the use of such devices can be called the fact that the headlight washer cap can be called to the bumper, and this, in turn, can make it difficult or at all impossible to make the timely use of the entire mechanism.

Washer that is hidden in bumper

  1. Construction management system. There are two types:
  • Forced. It implies the operating switch on the washer with a special button on the dashboard. By the way, turn off the headlight washer helps it. Forced method allows to perfectly monitor the flow fluid consumption, but may distract the driver's attention. Especially beginner.
  • Automatic. Such a system is triggered when the driver of the wiper lever is held, a more defined period of time or through a certain number of inclusions of the windshield washer. Automatic switching on most often occurs in standard inkjet washers.

Inkjet mechanisms for cleaning optics cars are quite often installed at the production stage. But even in the absence of such a design in the factory configuration, it can be installed independently, so to speak, with the use of personal abilities. For this, it is enough just to purchase a special kit.

A set for installation includes all the necessary parts (up to brushes and relays) and even some additional elements (for example, a lining on the nozzles, which reduces the need to drill the bumper to zero and so on). That is why the independent installation of the headlight washer is quite forces to each car owner.

Stage Washer Installation Stages

  1. First you need to decide whether the design will eat from one container with a glass washer or a tank for cleaning the headlights will be located separately. In the first case, the capacity will have to drill (the option is more suitable for auto domestic production) and connect an additional hose to it, which will feed water on the headlight. In the second case, the additional tank should be installed and it is desirable to make it preferably away from the heating parts of the machine.
  2. Place for nozzle on the bumper should also be defined even before installing the headlight washer finally. Ideally, it is located opposite the center of the scatterer. Here, the bumper should be drilled under the required hole or set a special lining on it, according to which all communication mechanism will be performed.

Council. Drill a hole better with the outside of the bumper to minimize the bloating of the paintwork.

  1. After that, the tank is installed (if it is separate) and the pump, the necessary hoses are carried out.
  2. The final stage can be called the installation of the electrician washer.

Double flea fleeler

On this installation can be considered over. But before turning on the headlight washer, you should carefully check all the connections and fastening of the elements. Otherwise, the design can simply not work at best. A detailed description of the installation of the entire mechanism is necessarily attached to any set. And this will help in work as a cramped driver and a novice motorist.

The fact that the headlight washer is really useful to the car supplement, you can make sure your own experience. To do this, just once to get under the rain on the track. Then all doubts about the feasibility of the device in a reasonable driver will disappear.

Plans washes using fan injectors. What is needed for this:

Relay 4x contact

First of all, installing an additional pump. Next, the bumper is neglected, thereby taking place, well, they lay the tubes, respectively. Here it is necessary to take into account a couple of nuances.

1) In order for the jet pressure is the same on both sides, you need to cut the tube the same length, thereby resistance levels. To the right headlamp, the stock was Velika, turned into a ring and hidden under the bumper.

2) Since the nozzles stand below the level of the barrel and the water is not running away, it is necessary to put a loop tube by creating a barrier.

From above from the sprayer, it is necessary to cut a bit a little with a knife, in order to set the maximum angle of attack.

Cropped and raised nozzle

The most difficult turned out to be spinning the nozzles nuts, as the bumper is installed on the machine. Next, the electrical part. No multimeter do not do. The relay with the fuse placed under the wheel.

From the relay to the pump you need to stretch only one plus wire, minus, respectively, from the mass under the pump itself.

The signal to the relay coil is supplied from the steering wheel switch in the position from itself, that is, the rear window washed mode, since neither the brushes nor the brush motor, nor even the rear view mirrors, I have been selected this mode. Runly, calling and having studied the device switch,

we conclude: At the time of pressing from you, the + 12B appears on the contact of the WH.

Marked red feature

For you, friends who did not disassemble my written scheme for clarity. I draw schemes from the habit of the university))).

All wires are neatly tied and placed under the panel.

The nozzles are quite powerful, it is quite enough. We look at the washer video well, the work of the running lights.

In general, I want to add, there is an option provided by me, and you already think to whom and how best.

Useful for car enthusiasts - all about cars

It is known that the deterioration of visibility on the road entails a number of problems, starting with reducing the level of comfort for the driver, and ending with the risk to get into an accident. But the cause may be not only the weather, but also a number of other factors - including the polluted optics of the car. For this reason, the quality of the road lighting deteriorates, and the angle of the ray direction is distorted.

Contamination of xenon headlamps leads to refraction and scattering of light, which can lead to blinding oncoming drivers. When dirt appears on ordinary headlights, their effectiveness decreases by almost 50%, and with further operation - by 80%. In order to avoid such problems, so-called headlamp washers were developed, cleaning the surface of the light sources on the driver's team. Today the device is widely popular and installed on many cars. If it is not provided, the installation of the headlight washer will help.

Types of automotive optics

Car headlights are manufactured using two materials - plastic and glass. In the first case, the installation of inkjet washers is recommended, and in the second, brush washers are suitable. The peculiarity of plastic optics is low resistance to friction, so the installation of inkjet (non-contact) cleaners are very acquitted. On the principle of action of the washer Talk below.

For one cleaning, the inkjet washer requires 200 ml of fluid supplied under pressure on the outer part of the plastic. The elimination of the mud from the surface occurs due to a strong pressure, so there is no need to add various cleaning agents.

After installing the headlight washer, it is necessary to periodically check the tank, for the presence of a working fluid. By the way, the same capacity is used in the windshield cleaning system, which allows you to pour out simple water (in summer) or special alcohol-containing means (non-freeze) in winter in the tank.

Structurally jet mechanism consists of the following nodes:

  • The tank containing the washing liquid. The capacity of the capacity depends on the number of nozzles installed by car, and ranges from 2.5 to 4 liters.
  • Connecting tubes. The length of the tubes is 2-4 meters. This parameter, as well as the diameter, depends on the pressure being created and the duration of the injection. The system tubes are combined using special plastic connectors (in one of them the check valve is mounted).
  • The pump is a device that provides performance and a pressure of 0.2 to 0.5 MPa. This node is part of the electrical system of the machine.
  • Injectors - products intended for water spraying. There are two types - single and double. When choosing, it is worth navigating the area of \u200b\u200bthe surface being processed.

Types of nozzles

When installing the headlight washer, it is worth paying for nozzles. Two types are allocated here - telescopic and stationary devices. Each options has its own characteristics.

These are nozzles that are mounted in the bumper of the machine. The lack of this type of product is the impossibility of disguise, which often spoils the exterior of the vehicle. That is why the installation of the headlight washer should be carried out with a loaf on the design of the car. With this approach, you can not worry about the negative impact of the additional option on the appearance of the car.

These are nozzles that, unlike the previous type of washer, are hidden from prying eyes. This is achieved due to the use of a special cover, perfectly inscribed in the car design. Telescopic devices are popular not only for this reason. Their feature is a clearly exhibited corner and spraying distance, providing better surface cleaning. Minus - in the high risk of facing the device to the bumper, which is why the correct application of the mechanism is complicated.

Types of headlight washer control

When installing headlight washer, it is worth considering another point - the types of device management systems. There are two options here.

Here the driver personally turns on and disables the device using a special key on the instrument panel. The advantage of the forced method is to control the frequency and quality of cleaning the surface of the headlight and, as a result, the flow rate of the cleansing fluid. The disadvantage is to be distracted from the road, which is especially fraught with newcomers.

The difference of the system is activation, while holding the driver of the steering wheel of the glass cleaner, for a certain time or after a particular number of twisted janitors. Installation of automatic type headlights, as a rule, is available at the factory.

Inkjet cleansers are usually mounted at the factory, during the manufacture of cars. But you should not despair if the manufacturer has not provided such an option. Install the washer can be independently using a special set. All that is required is a desire and a little time.

The special set includes a complete set of parts, ranging from relays and brushes, ending with small devices for mounting "zero", and nozzles. That is why the washer installation does not cause difficulties even for newcomers.

How to install headlight washer: step by step

Installation of the headlamp cleaning system takes place in several stages:

  1. Decide whether the working fluid will be stored in one container with the composition for cleaning the windshield. In some cases, a separate tank can be provided. The first option is more suitable for domestic cars. All that is required - drill an extra hole and connect the tube. It is through it that the liquid will be supplied to the Farm. If it is decided to put a separate tank, it is better to put it, as far as possible from the heating elements of the car.
  2. Determine the appropriate place for nozzles. It is advisable to do this job, even before the installation of the headlight washer is completed. The perfect point for installation is opposite the central part of the scatterer. The fastening of the nozzle is possible in two ways - by mounting a special lining or driving a hole in the bumper. If the option is selected with drilling, it is better to do it outside the bumper to minimize the damage to the LCP.
  3. Put the tank (provided it, if it is separate) and return the pump to place. Load the necessary hoses to the system nodes.
  4. Connect the electrical part.

That's all - the installation of the headlight washer is complete. Before checking the system for performance, it is worth checking the connections and ensure that they are reliable. Note that if an error is made somewhere, the device may not work. To avoid difficulties in the installation, it is worth following recommendations in the instructions (applied to the set). Such information should take advantage of both newcomers and an experienced car owner.

Each car owner seeks to improve the comfort and convenience of trips. However, cleaning headlights manually spoils pleasant impressions. Today, this process can be automated by setting my headlights with your own hands, it does not require large financial costs and forces for mounting the equipment.

Plaidwater washer design

Today you can choose the optimal version of the cleaning system for almost any optics. There are two types of washers for headlights: brush and inkjet. The first option, despite the effective work, is distinguished by the complexity of the installation, since it is necessary to introduce a brush mechanism near the surface of the headlight glass. Do not forget that the installation of equipment requires additional resources, and this creates an excessive load on the battery, which at the most inopportune moment may be discharged. In such a design, it is assumed to supply a certain amount of washing fluid, and the dirt is removed using a brush. It is not recommended to install such a type of purifier on the headlights, where plastic is used as a protective element, since over time the surface will cover with a plurality of small scratches and it will close. In contrast to the previous version, the inkjet washer supplies a high pressure fluid and can be installed for almost any type of headlights. Such a mechanism is distinguished by the simplicity of the installation, since the design does not have a brush.

Main components

  1. Pump. Its function is to provide fluid supply to device sprayers. Detail is inserted pressure of about 0.2 MPa.
  2. Tank for washing fluid.
  3. Connecting tubes. Through this element on the nozzle flows the liquid from the tank.
  4. Nozzles and fastening elements. Two options are possible: telescopic and stationary.
The headlight washer kit includes all the necessary elements for the installation of the system in accordance with the attached instructions.

In addition to the listed items for assembling the device, a block with fuses and wires are used, which are compiled with the wiring of the car, and the operation of the washer is monitored. Depending on the brand of the machine, the design may have differences on the configuration in comparison with the standard set. It depends on the installed optics and the design of the bumper. At the same time, it is not difficult to choose the desired version. For self-installation of the system, in addition to listed items, it will be necessary:

  • heat-shrink tubing;
  • screwdriver Set;
  • plastic ties.

Principle of operation of the headlight washer

The device is simple. The spraying mechanism (nozzle) of the liquid is installed on the front bumper and can be both fixed and extended. Washing fluid on sprayers is supplied from the tank for the windshield washer, but separate containers can also be used. Through the tubes, the liquid enters the nozzles and is sprayed on high pressure headlights. If navigating washers are installed, then at the end of the work they become in place.

Features of choice

To properly choose a set of washer, first of all, you need to consider the design features of the top of the bumper and glass optics. Faromusers differ by the type of nozzles:

  • for flat bumper;
  • for spherical bumper;
  • for SUVs.

You can purchase a device for both a specific car model and a universal set. The last option is preferable if approaching the choice from the practical and economic side.


The nozzles for the washer are chosen according to the design of the bumper and the headlights. Only in this case can you count on the proper operation of the system

Detailed installation instructions with your own hands

The headlight washer can be installed on any car. First of all, you need to purchase all components that correspond to a specific brand, and also combine with a common design. It is necessary to take into account that there are kits in which the lining of the nozzle is included, which will save from the need to drill the bumper. It is determined by the fact that all communications are mounted on it. Plus, the set should include an installation instructions, a tank (may not log in), a pump, tube, relay. When everything you need prepared, you can start installation.

  1. Regardless of the selected set, the work starts with the leaks washer tank on the subject of an additional tube. If for some reason it is impossible, then we are looking for a place to install an additional tank, which goes complete with the device. It is important to know that the tank is preferably located away from the elements that are susceptible to heating.
  2. The next moment is the search for the installation of the nozzles. The ideal option is the installation opposite the headlight center. To calculate it, it suffices to look at the diffuser: the optical center has the designation in the form of a circle.
  3. Deciding with the place under the sprayer, the hole drills on the bumper. You need to start with a small diameter, gradually increasing it to the appropriate size. The procedure is performed carefully and from the outside to avoid raising paint.
  4. We produce fastening nozzles. For the best combination with the body, the optimal option is selected in advance.
  5. We proceed to the installation of the tank and pump. The installation process may differ slightly, which depends on the specific set.
  6. We carry out communication. It is necessary to choose the shortest distance.
  7. It remains to connect to the electrician: the pump connects with the total electrical system, and the control is displayed on a separate button. You can connect to the washer of the glass. In which option to stay, everyone chooses himself. If you consider the installation of a separate button, then additional troubles for the selection, connection arise. When installing onto a regular washer, the fluid flow increases.

How to enable and check the design

The optimal installation site of the control module is considered to be an ignition unit and alarm column, but there may be other options. In this case, the white wire is connected to the positive contact of the overall light. Then the red wire is connected to the voltage source through the fuse. Red and black wires that go from one beam with white, plug into "+" and "-" washer. The remaining blue wire is connected to the plus contact of the illumination of the cigarette lighter or with the contact that is responsible for disabling the dimensions. After the design is collected, you need to test it. To do this, we pour into the tank washing liquid or clean water and evaluate whether the nozzles work and how spraying occurs.

Operation and repair

The operation of the device under consideration will depend on both the equipment itself and the installation option. If the washer is combined with the wiper button, the fluid will be consumed faster and for its supply under high pressure will be required frequently filling the tank. To reduce the flow, the device is connected to a separate button, which is located in a convenient location. The operation of the system from a separate button justifies itself, especially in winter, which avoids the failure of the device. Proper exploitation of the headlight washer involves periodic use of the system. This not only prevents the contamination of the sprayers, but also increase the life of the device.


In winter, the washer nozzles are clogged with mud and freeze, which prevents the normal workflow. Therefore, periodic cleaning of the element is necessary.

It is worth saying a few words about exploitation in the winter. Some car owners in order to avoid breakdowns of the washer, the fuses on the power supply chain are removed for the winter. Since under negative temperatures, nozzles are contaminated and freezed, this leads to the difficulties of their use, if not cleaning. For example, extended washers simply face the bumper, which leads to a pump breakage.

Why the washer does not work - common reasons

To prevent a washer outlet, regular use of the system is required. In cases where there is no need to use the device, it takes it from time to time to use it, at least once a week, which will exclude a violation of working capacity. If it was found that the system although it works, but it does not return to his place after cleaning the headlights, you should not resort to cardinal measures and immediately replace. You can try to eliminate a malfunction with your own hands. The reason why the washer is not returned to the place, as a rule, is dirt inside the mechanism. There are cases that performance can be restored by applying the penetrating fluid by type WD-40, which is lubricated by the pollea and help them become in place. But not always this option helps. In this case, you can resort to another method of fixing the device.


After some time of operation of the headlight washer, there may be leaked from the pump that requires troubleshooting

The procedure is simple and effective. To do this, you need to go on the track and overclock the car up to 100 km / h, turning on the washer several times. Often this technique helps to "reanimate" the device due to the power of the oncoming air flow. It is considered more preferable than attempts to install nozzles in place by hands, because the excessive power will not be attached. Well, in general, that the device worked smoothly, its constant use is necessary. When operating the system from the case of the case, leak can appear. To eliminate a malfunction, you will need to remove the bumper, for which the device hoses are disconnected, then drain the liquid from the tank, disconnect the washer from the bumper. With the help of buns, push the two parts of the pump - the front and rear, which will allow separating the halves of the case.

The design of the washer is simple: the pressure in the piston is injected pressure, it is put forward and opens the sprayer valve, as a result of which the liquid is supplied to the headlight. In the original position, the piston returns the spring. Over time, the tightness between the cylinder and the body is disturbed due to the displacement of the rubber seal, which is associated with constant vibrations. The situation can be corrected by installing the ring in place and fixing it, for example, a sealant. After the procedure, the case is collected and tightened with a clamp.

How to make an inclusion in a separate button

At designated reasons, many drivers show interest in the inclusion of the headlight washer in a separate button. The choice of the item itself should not be called.


To turn on the plague washer, you can choose almost any option buttons, which are currently offered a wide variety.

Consider the installation of the button on the example of Hyundai Santa Fe. The following tools and materials will be needed: Activation of the headlight washer can be displayed on a separate button by choosing the optimal location of its location.

We produce work in the following sequence:

  1. We start with the removal of the side and bottom panel. They are attached to four screws and clips. After removal, access to the block will open.
  2. Remove the stuffing of the steering wheel. The mount is made by three screws. Similarly, with the help of a blade, we remove the part with the clip. On this trim, the button will be installed. The place can actually be chosen any, if only it was convenient to control the system.
  3. We make a hole in the size of the buttons and secure it.
  4. Connect the wires on the button and stretch their block.
  5. We perform a connection of wires with a block: we are looking for a yellow wire that is responsible for the headlight washer and is located in the middle of the pads (second from above). In the break of this wire and you need to connect the button. After the connection, it is necessary to carefully perform insulation.
  6. We produce check and collect everything in the reverse order.

To install the headlight washer on the car, it is not necessary to contact the car service and pay money. It is enough to purchase the necessary details, familiarize yourself with the connection scheme, determine the place of installation of the tank and the buttons and install. The process itself is not distinguished by difficulties and can be even a novice driver.
