Adaptive Xenons...

Just a quickie. When I use my windscreen wash and with every 3rd usage (?) the headlights are washed, I notice that something is infringing the beam rather like wiper blades for a few seconds? I don't see any fitted, so anyone know what is going on up there?

Thanks.

Nope, seems like something mechanical passes across them exactly like a blade.

Think it might be the jet of water which on mine is kind of fan shaped and gives the sort of 'wiper blade' effect you mentioned.

Get someone else to pull the stalk and watch from the front if you want to see what exactly happens Thumbs Up I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

I have the same effect when they trigger. I watched themone day, it looks like something is wiping across the light, but in my case it's actually just the fan shaped water spray hitting the lights.

Happens with mine too - it is the water spray that's doing it.

Then again......
