I put them on my US spec car, worked fine until the relay on the reservoir quit. Bought a complete set with harness, relays and tubing to put on.

I'm assuming you want them to work? You'll need to get the proper stalk for the steering column control and wiper relay for the fuse box(has 2 extra connections).

These are for the intensive wash that was always packaged with the headlamp wipers. The headlamp wipe/wash will work with just the connections to the lights and normal screen washers, although you will need to fit the double screenwash tank to get a location for the headlamp washer pump, even if you don't use the intensive screenwash tank or pump.
