Headlamp washers

When I got my Clk i had no choice of the options so that was included. WHAT A WASTE, used them once to see howthey work. I cleaned my car put them on they splash all over. Hehe i dont see how they are really useful, my headlights havent gotten that dirty..

I dont have it on my C coupe

I'm having brain fade, isn't the headlamp washer button on the C-Class right next to the headlight switch? I don't know what that button is used for. Ejector seat?

I think that button is used for Parktronic, which isn't available on the C in the US. Why does MB offer features in other markets and not here?

does anyone if those buttons can be swapped and wired to be used as a switch so they can control lights or some other sort of electronic equipment?

I know one of those buttons is for rear wiper on the wagons, but they might use the sunshade button since the wagon doesn't have that.

I've always wanted to rig up an extra set of pop-up headlight washers and install them in the rear bumper, facing backwards that way you could spray tailgaters. The blank switch would be great for that.

You are correct. My loaner wagon has the rear wiper button where the sunshade normally is

The two outer switches are for the heated seats. He is referring to the second switch from the left.
