The construction of the headlight cleaning system is similar to that of the windscreen washer system. Cleaning fluid is pumped and sprayed from a tank.
The nozzles through which the cleaning fluid is applied to the headlight glazing at high pressure in modern vehicles are often fixed in front of the headlights; however, they are increasingly being concealed in the bumper of the vehicle and only appear when the washing process is activated. With this type of construction, the nozzles are usually pushed out of the bumper into their spraying position by the high pressure of the washing liquid.
