Some one asked me a while back for part numbers and stuff for this system.

As for mounting points, it looks like they are already present on our cars (well on mine anyway - TJ AWD), threaded holes and all. I have the bumper off my car atm so I can take photos for interested people. This sits in the same position as the radiator overflow / coolant refill tank, but on the drivers side.

The part labelled with (REF. 42-180) looks to be a different pannel that is welded in on the JDM models. Seems to be as simple as cut out the old and weld in the new. Doesn't seem to be structural - but don't quote me on that. The part number for this is - MR178314. The part labelled with (84517) in the diagram is a plastic cover that clips in to fill the hole and presumably gives access to the pump. The part number for this is MB543045.
**The pannel might not fit our cars as the JDM's have a strut tower arrangement**

Either cut out the old pannel, weld in the new... or just get a holesaw - again I don't know if it's structural.

The refill point looks to be on a stiff flexible hose. I'm trying to find a picture of how it looks, and if anything is different with the window washer bottle.

I can't find how this was originally switched. Either comes on with the windscreen washers, or it has it's own dedicated switch. The JDM models have switches mounted on the drivers side kick pannel and in the little pannel where the MMAL models have the mirror adjustment switch, so it could be any one of these.

One last thing...
We are talking about a system that is found on a car 15yrs old. Chances are very good that most of these parts will not be avaliable brand new but if they are, your local dealer should be able to order them in - if you can wait the 2-4 weeks it would take to arrive.

The headlight washer I believe has an independant switch like the rear windscreen washer when equipped. It is located down on the drivers side where there is a pull out storage box (we have a BEM where this box goes). On some the cars have a switch panel with the additional switches.

The mirror adjust switch panel on JDM cars is for the TCL switch and the antenna switch.

I looked into this ages ago, there could be lots of compatible parts with pajero headlight washers.

same system and nozzles as Pajeros and Delicas . on those there is a small button on the end of the headlight stalk. press button with headlights on gives you 20 seconds of squirt to remove snow , etc.
they use an addional timer relay installed under the battery , but you can switch them on manually.
