Headlight washer adjustment: Carson - is there a special tool for this?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/84688/photo.1.jpg"></center><p>Some people wonder about the point to headlight washers. Back in MN, the white salt crust didn't hinder the lights too much, but here in CO, the sandy roads tend to create a mud substance that coats the whole front of the car. It doesn't take long for the headlights to become pretty useless on a crappy night drive. It's really a substantial difference in light output. This pic is from 45 minutes of driving on I-70, and is pretty much what my car looks like 90% of the time. It can get pretty hairy driving through the mountains with crappy light output.
I read in the Bentley manual that the nozzle is adjustable, and was hoping to move it over so that the low beams get cleaned more than the high beams. You have a tool for this Carson?

*shrug* What do people do without snow tires, good wiper blades, mad turbo boost?
I have washers, so might as well have them work as they were intended to right?

A paper clip would work Reid...or something like a pick tool.
Just insert the end of the tool into the nozzle, and move the nozzle to where you want it to fire. You can also aim the windshield washer nozzles the same way.
