Are these common on Bonnies? I've never seen them before until tonight.

I looked at a 94 SSEi that had headlight squirters! I've never seen one before (not that I know SSEis that well).

Rare or aftermarket?

Yep, me too. Work pretty well, even though I don't think I have ever seen my HLs been too dirty to be useful. But, hey nice feature to brag about.

Yep, they look exactly like the ones in your signature. Never knew they existed!

What was the first year?

And are they powered by the same pump that squirts the windshield?

they were available on the 92-94 SSE and the SSEi for sure, and i know that they were available for the pre 92 SSE'* but not sure on the exact year that it started

they have a special double washer bottle that has a extra resivor and a pump, also the turn signal lever has a setting for the headlight washers too

'88 SSE, I believe. If any '87 would have HL washers, Straitor'* would. He seemed to have the most loaded '87. I have yet to see an LE/SE with 'em.. so I think it was only the SSE [don't quote me on that though].

you are correct, only the SSE, and the 92-94 SSE and SSEi have the HL washers
