Hi guys,
can anyone shed any light on the headlamp wash wipe wiring fitted early 325`s ?
is there 2 parts to the loom? i have just got the loom from bmw but its only wired back to the control unit plug,
is there a 2nd part that goes back to fuse box - wiper relay i need to order?
haynes manual hasn`t helped much...

any ideas? Thanks in advance
