Default Headlight wipers?

i just replaced my windshield wiper blades, hatch blades.

Where and how much can I get two new headlight blades for?


Also, how do I control the headlight wipers?

My windshield ones work, but the headlight ones don't.

The Headlight ones should work with the washers unless they are unplugged.

They commonly mess up I unplugged mine the day I bought the car.

So if they are plugged in what might be broken? Relay? Fuse?

Usually what happens is thre gears strip out then the wipers get stuck in different positions. Then when they decide to move again they will.

I use the remnants of the old windshield wiper blades to make my own headlight blades. It won't work with the newer "Neoform" type blades but it works great with the older style blades that have the metal catch at the end of the blades. Just chop them off to length.
