The headlight washers use a lot of pressure to work and yes water goes everywhere when you use them.

Have never had a problem with them coming on when I wash the windscreen, just if I push the button

Remember that earlier cars and later ones work differently. On my 1999 IS200, I have to specifically press the headlight washer button (with the headlights on) to make them work.

Sorry to highjack this but does the pipe between the headlamp washers have to be a specific one or will any that fit do?

Think any will do mate as long as it fits the joints, saw an is200 using a bit of hose pipe in the past? Big Grin

IIRC they do have a shape to them, but sure you could bend it to the shape you wanted it to run?

If I remember correctly yours was a 51 plate wasn't it? Then you've got the kind that will spray the headlights the first time you wash the windscreen if the lights are on.

But yes they very annoyingly spray all over the bonnet, which is why I was happy to lose them when I had the TTE bumper fitted Smile
