Mercedes Headlight Washer Cover - Genuine Mercedes 16686002089999

Product Information

A Headlight Washer is a feature found in some vehicles, typically higher-end or luxury models, that sprays washer fluid onto the headlights to keep them clean. It uses small nozzles, often integrated into the front bumper or the headlight assembly, to spray fluid directly onto the headlight lenses, which helps to remove dirt, grime, and other debris that can accumulate, particularly in adverse weather conditions. Keeping headlights clean enhances visibility and safety by ensuring maximum light output.

• No Fluid Spray on Headlights: The most obvious sign of a headlight washer failure is when there’s no fluid spraying onto the headlights when activated, even though the windshield washers may still work
• Washer Fluid Leaks: Leaks under the front bumper, especially near the headlights, can indicate a leak in the headlight washer hoses, connectors, or the washer pump itself

About Genuine Mercedes

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz.

In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.
