I do indeed have Xenons... Well i never, I didn't know it had headlamp washers!!!

must go and see if they are working in a while


I have only had a Corolla for 6 months and I found yesterday that it had an adjustable steering column

and before anyone comes along, yes i should have read the manual!!

Yup, headlamp wash - they're quite neat actually. Get someone to hold the screen wash/wipe with headlamps on and they pop out to give your headlamps a little squirt.

EU set some bizarre law so all cars with factory fitted xenons must also have headlamp washers fitted. Doesn't apply to retro fit xenons.

[cuprabob]

When you are checking they are working make sure you have your headlamps on.

Depending upon how they are set they may operate every time you skoosh the windscreen washers or 1 in 5 times.

Most cars with headlamp washers are decided by model, but as you say, all Xenon fitted from new need washers. What you have not noted is that all cars with Xenons must have self-levelling, and this is not limited to original fit only.
