Just a thought:

Lets see if MB got it right with feature like headlamp washer.... My take is they should have save the cost for parktronic instead.

This means in US models: P2 comes with parktronic instead of washer....

If you equate costs you might as well rethink. Parktronic will cost you 10 times more, at a minimum, than washers. GL

Washers are required in Europe anyway for cars equipped with HID low beams.

Too many to list
I think both are really useless. I have 3 cars in the family that have the headlamp washers, but never really use them as it does nothing to improve visibility. Leaving water spots will actually create more glare. Parktronic makes more sense in a big SUV or truck. The c-class is a small car and if you can't parallel park it, you need more practice. I would trade both those options for more engine power.

Does anybody know how to deactivate the headlamp washer? I don't need a carwash every time 10th time I spray my windshield.
