If he is asking what something on the car is, I would assume and hope it is not his car.

I see that feature as not being needed. Costs more, looks worse, weighs more, and adds another thing that can break.

As much as i hate my headlight washers due to WHEN they turn on.... they're surprisingly resilient... They've never popped off, and if they're iced over, they just won't pop out.

They DO clean the headlights pretty well, so i can't knock them for that too. I just hate that they turn on the first spray if my headlights are on. (search the forums)

Hey!! That car looks familiar lol.

The headlights are not tinted. The inner housing has been painted black, the amber reflector removed and the side marker bulbs were replaced with chrome coated amber bulbs. They do appear dark but the clear lens are still stock, light output is not hampered.

If you have a Canadian 4G Tl then your car came equipped with the washers,it is not an option.

To answer your question,the rims are Roderick RW1.

Headlight washers sure beats cleaning lens with a squeegee and leaving all the scratches behind. Wife's MDX after six years, no failure yet with the washers and the lenses look crystal clear.

I absolutely love my headlight washer. Greatest thing ever. I've literally gone 120 on the highway and used them in -30 degree weather and they've never popped off and had no issues. They work very well and I do notice that my headlights collect a lot of snow/ice/dirt on them.
