I want to fit a set of headlamp washers/wipers to my car i have checked and found wiring and plugs behind each headlamp ....to work the motors is it just a case of fit the motors and connect to the plugs (i know the wash bit is a bit more) or is it a seperate loom etc ...how are they operated ie when the windscreen wipers are used and the headlights are on do the come on at the same time or do they have a seperate switch
the car is a late 92 cab
