G'day Ron,
I just got back to this thread and saw your post. Thanks very much, it's
a great help. Funny, I didn't receive any email alert about the extra reply's after my last reply. I thought the thread had died with no
further replies. I will put this info to good use and drill the holes as you
have shown as mine is now in the shop for a some new makeup paint).

G'day Guys,
Just finished installing my headlight washers into the bezels here's a pic of
the finished result.



Thanks for all who contributed.

Hi MAF,
WELL!
That certainly looks PRETTY!
Now that you have the nozzles, I hope you're on good terms with your washer pump!!
Regards,
Alan

PS: Does your car have the optional tiny wiper arm and blade for each headlight?

G'day Alan,
Thanks. The washer pump is another job on the list and no wiper assembly fitted and no evidence of it ever having been fitted. In fact I wasn't even aware they were an option.

Hi Mark,
No mini wipers.
Just trying to get a laugh!

Hi MAF,
I believe at one time certain Mercedes cars had little wipers about 4" long.

Better late than never, I suppose. Here is a photo of my late production '69 driver side headlight. Just confirms what others have posted.


I have NEVER tried to see if they squirt anything. It always seemed to be kind of a wasted effort to include them on the early C3s. I guess that's why GM dropped them.

Yes Alan,
I have seen them on others as well, that's probably why I didn't question when you asked me about them.
