80 series headlamp washers

[Marius Vlad]

The body looks like something that could be 3D printed and a windscreen washer type jet made to fit?

I’ve smashed them a couple of times and and glued them so that they still work, but they seem pretty complicated to be a 3D print because it’s a double bent thin hollow tube and the spray nozzle is inside the tip of a different plastic piece that acts like a mask.
But if someone is willing to take on this project, I’d think there would be a fair amount of people willing to pay for a good result. I would!

Probably best off seeing if people like Garry 80 breaker or the guy on FB, cant remember his name, have any 2nd hand parts.

You'll need a fair amount of parts to make it work if you didnt originally have them fitted.

I’ve tried to source them ftom ebay and cars being broken down, but try’re not esy to come by apparently. I have the whole system and I’ve made them work again after smashing them, but would like some new ones or at least some that weren’t smashed.
I will look into your advice,
Thanks

Guy on Facebook LC80 groups called Nayab Akbar, I've not bought stuff off him yet myself but have spoken to a few who have, and had very good experience with him.

How about fitting some 100 series washer jets which look like they're bumper mounted? Looks like it could be done with a bit of modding........

Can't you just delete them and the switch entirely? They're pretty much useless anyway...?

They're great at removing snow from the lights. Driving through heavy snow it tends to stick to the lenses due to lack of heat from the LED bulbs. I reckon they'd also be good at shifting mud if off road.

Definitely not effective in mud!
