Eurolights, slush and blizzards

[Lawrence C Leung]

Didn't Euro type 44T 20V's use the US bumper in order to get the larger
single pass IC? If so, did THEY have availible headlight washer systems.
If the nozzles are availible, and one can get a strong enough pump,
reservoir, etc, sure seems to me that a factory looking system could be
rigged.

LL - NY Happy New Years! (Incidentally, found that the type 44 TQ can
hang tail better than my old 4KQ, but recovery is albit slower! LUV 16"
of snow!)
