Quick question did JDM front bumpers ever come with headlight wash kit? I know some imports can have a UK front bumper fitted but this is a JDM front bumper with wash kit.

Maybe it was an option mate, either that or he's retro fitted it.

Must be a retro fit never seen that before mate.

Not seen them before, imo, does look better tho.

Uk spec front bumpers have them.

Yep but this is a JDM front bumper mate.

What makes you say its a JDM front bumper? Looks like standard 89 spec to me?

Never really seen the benefit of headlight washers without wiper blades. Its like squirting your windscreen without using the wipers, you just get a splodge of water on the window lol

Indicators differ between jap and UK spec mate. Plus this one has fogs.

How can you tell? They are the same apart from the different side lights which were interchangeable.

 

Here's a picture of my old uk zed

 

I think it's a uk bumper with different sidelights/indicators

UK spec indicators and side lights in the front, corners were usually dummies.

jap spec indicators on the side/corner and fogs in the front.

PS Spec savers open at 9am lol

OK so in that case I would say someone bought a UK bumper and put jap lights in it?

Mine are like a jet wash mate, blows all the crap of pretty well :)

Possibly but would have been 10 times easier and cheaper to retro fit the washers tbh,

guess we'll never know without asking!

It might just be a UK bumper with the washers not attached to anything??

You mean JDM?

Im not aware of Imports ever coming with headlight washers.

 

I would say thats clearly just a UK bumper fitted to a JDM.

 

Not than unusual, usually see it the other way around, but people fit whatever they can get hold of, and its pretty common for fronts to get damaged.

 

The indicators and fogs are irrelevent, ofcourse you just fit your own when you fit bumper (and the fogs dont even get touched when you change bumper).

It would be WAY more work to retrofit washers.

Thats what it looks like a UK bumper with fogs fitted as it has the UK reg plate holder also.

Yup, I'm pretty sure it's a uk front

when you change the bumper you take the lights off, all connectors stay (including fog lights) on the car and dont move, when you buy a 89spec front end, normally the lights dont come with it, as you still have your own, so why would changing the bumper instantly force you to change the layout of the lights? not sure where people are getting that idea from.

 

Id say, its a UK bumper due to the washers for the headlights, and all he has done after fitting it, is put his lights back on in there original location :lol:

 

oh and most likely the washers dont work as he wouldn't have the control on the lights pod, hasnt plumbed the pipe work or pump in, or wired it all up, hence the reason he hasnt mentioned its got that function in his add.
