29Hersey,

The headlamp wipers on your car are actually part of the headlamp washer system. In order to make them work, you need to turn the headlights on, and then push in on the wiper stalk to operate the washers. As long as the headlights are turned on when you operate the windshield washers, the headlamp wipers / washers will come on as well.

Also, if you need to replace the hard-to-find Headlamp Wiper Blades, we have them available on our site HERE, or by clicking on the photo of the Headlamp Wiper Blade below.



If you have any questions, please feel free to post or send a PM!
