Thanks to the use of the original manufacturer's designation and assignment to a specific side of the vehicle, the risk of installation problems, leaks, or incorrect fluid spray direction is minimized. This is particularly important when replacing a damaged or leaking nozzle after a collision or long-term use.

Performance characteristics and installation

The nozzle is offered as a used part, which is a reasonable choice for maintenance or post-accident repairs when the priority is to maintain the original design while optimizing costs. This type of component will work well both for a targeted replacement of a damaged nozzle and for broader service work within the headlight cleaning system.
