Default Headlight washer pump......

anyone know whether the headlight washer pump is in the bumper or is it under the hood somewhere?? Just curious if it will be part of a new bumper, should I end up buying one.

it's attached to the bumper but you will not find a bumper that comes with the washers unless you get a kit or deal from somebody. you changed you name too haha

Default blind leading the blind?

On my 99.5 there is cylindrical shaped thing behind the right (drivers side) headlight, back in against the fender. It looks like it is connected the the headlight washer system and has a power connection on the top of it. My headlight washers don't work, but thats as far as I've got on trouble shooting it.

I've got a fuel gauge sender and wheel bearing ahead of that project.

Mine has two pumps. One for the headlight and one for the windshield, and I believe they are both on the reservoir.

My headlight washer don't work,... but I think the headlight washer is suppose to come on every time you hit the windshield washer.

Where does the pressure come from? Couldn't that connection behind the headlight, above the washer fluid tank, be for headlight washer pump?
