they put a mist on the screen rather than a jet of water , much better than the normal ones for clearing crap of the windows while driving. they are about a fiver from a citroen dealer (part number 6438v8) a direct fit and look a lot smarter as well (more rounded) was another mg owner told me about them (cant remember who now? maybe in a how to guide or something).

:Hmmm: I need to separate my lexus lights as one of them is taking in water, really annoying as when I take the unit out, the water won't come out from whereever it went in!

The offending unit is showing shows of age, the water has stripped some of the 'chrome' effect. Might be popping the OE ones back in.

Well I have always wanted to try the colour coding on the lexus lights as previous posts have suggested but want to get a hold of a set ultra cheap incase it looks pants or I prefer the originals (as I do like these still) so if you get rid let me know a price (I think you have your originals but if not a trade could be possible..)
