Do you mean the headlight washers? I would think that'd be incredibly difficult and still keep the wash function.
I think ADR's require HID's to have washers and be self leveling...

Easy, drive along the highway at 80+ km/h and use your windscreen washer, the chrome covers will come right off

As said, they're an ADR requirement, not like many of us here take much notice of that half the time..

No headlight washers on my post facelift, just pieces of chromed plastic fillers. And I have HIDs, so whats this cr@p about ADRs ? Sounds like the dealer saying he wont disable the key inserted/door open chime (Mazda 3), as it would make unroadworthy - many cars dont have this #$@%Y^ chime (eg the Subies), so how can it be a RWC item ?

Are you sure they aren't washers? They pop out when activated so you can't tell by just looking at them what they are.
