Default 850 headlight wipers

I'm looking to buy an 850 and I'm liking the look of the headlight wipers on some of them, but im having trouble finding any with the wipers around here, is there any way possible to add the wiper blades if I find one that I like without them?

The headlight wipers are only trouble. They don't work on most 850's.

i don't know if you can install wipers on a car that din't have them originally.

You can add them but most people unplug them and leave them there for looks. Or some delete them all together.

Mine shorted out and I already moved one. Just to lazy to remove the other. Strange thing is mine was a Base Model so it was kinda strange to see them on the car. But as others have said they are just a pain lol. Why most of the um "Lux" cars just have the high pressure sprayers now instead of wipers.
