IIRC headlight wipers work every 5th spray of the windscreen or when you push the stalk in for intensive wash? could be wrong though - I parked in front of a building with a big window and watched them in the reflection in the glass.

I removed mine - cleaner look I thought.

Angel lights don't look right on E30's.. they're too modern in my opinion

I thought washers/wipers were standard on all 325s along with an electric roof, front windows and door mirrors?

+1 from me too - I love the headlamp wipers on my SE, my cab doesnt have any and it looks naked!

Headlamp wipers are great! :cool:
Although if I had a set I'd probably sell them and use the money for something else :D

Nope, all of them except electric mirrors (standard on all E30's) were options on 325i's. It was standard on SE's and sports though.
