Not a stupid question, all question are good to ask if the intent is good: the answer can be stupid though sometimes
Anyway yes, as of 2006 I believe, all vehicles having Xeon lamps (HID) have to have washer systems within the European Community.
Just as in the United States of America, the various protagonists of the European Union enforce the law and regulations more or less stringently.
In France, this is enforced and checked and it is defined by European regulations ECE R48.

The diagram shows the washer access door (part 2) as being part of the front fascia. Do you have cut the fadscia to accomodate these?? Something I sure would have a tough time doing...

Good Evening,
I apologize if you feel that way. The first time you called, I answered and you said "hello hello" and I was talking and you didn't hear me, so I hung up. The second time you called, we were speaking and I was trying to let you know how I was going to handle it and we still had a connection problem. It is not my intention to upset or leave you with that impression.
What I was trying to tell you was, I couldn't work on your project at that given moment and when I got some free time I'd be happy to assist you. If you'd still like me to give you a hand, just let me know. I like to be involved in projects!
Thanks, Gene.

I have put this issue aside for now as my priority is to get everything working.
I will give the priority to drilling the holes because for the front fascia to be painted the same color as the car is going to be difficult ...

I have two options: drill a hole in the front fascia or get the Euro compliant fascia.

In the meantime you should be able to get everything together just don't install the nozzles until you absolutely have to.

You can manually turn off the DRL's, but they default back on every time you start the engine...so you would need to turn them off each and every time....
