    I have xenon lights on my car with headlight wash.

    I am wondering if there is any way to lock the washer jets in the "open" position so i can adjust the jets.

    Currently when i was my lights the water goes everywhere but the light.

    1.) You can open the cover and literally pull the thing out, you do have to put a good bit of force on it and watch you don't pull the jet nozzle off in the process.

    2.) Get someone to activate it (to make it skoosh) and hold on for dear life when it appears!

    Audi being Audi you need to buy the full thing, its called a lift cylinder. There are a few on flea-bay the now. I tried fitting 3 other vw nozzels from different models with no luck so its the full thing you need. Think audi wanted £40 for 1.
