Gallardo Panels below Front lights

[lordbluf]

Hi,

anyone know what the small panels immediately below the front gallardo lights are/do?

I have noticed that mine have recently appeared loose and you can open them up look inside them - but i dont think they are closing properly (with the outside of them not totally flat inline with the bonnet.. any ideas?

Thanks, Lord

headlight washer covers
never use the washers, but from memory push the rhs stalk away from you and watch passing pedestrians leap out the way

As obvious as it may sound... With the light switched on.

I have noticed that in winter they distort slightly and can look like vulcan eyebrows, turned up at the outside ends, but with the less cold/damp weather they return to normal.
I never use them, they are a waste of space, the same as all cars fitted with them.

UK Legislation or maybe EU requires the fitment of washers to cars fitted with Xenon lights.

My Clio has them and its a pain in the arse when I've got a clean car and want the windscreen cleaning, as the headlight washers come on with that. Most of the time I turn the headlights off for a split second to avoid it.

I would suggest your garage is damp, that seems to be what causes mine to change. They don't do it anymore since it lives in a carcoon over the winter.
