Only if they work. I think they were standard on the 68-69 and early 70, but not sure.

Hi,
I believe the headlight washer began for the start of the 69 model year and continued through about serial number 3600 in the 71 model year.
The pump and hoses continued further into the 71 model year but didn't operate.
Regards,
Alan

Not on 68`s as far as I know....And I believe they started with the 1970`s......I know somewhere along that period the headlight doors were changed to plastic instead of metal too

Alan, thanks for the clearing up the years. I was only sure about the 69's.

Hi,
I'll mention too that the headlight 'doors' were always metal. The headlight 'bezels' changed from metal to fiberglass sometime after the 72 model year.
Regards,
Alan

Standard beginning with the 69s, but not on the 68s. Gone by 72.
