This is especially true if you live anywhere where lots of salt is put on roads in wintertime (much like up here). Once that salt builds up on your headlights after driving on wet roads for awhile, the difference in light output is definitely noticable. I've found that I've had to clean my headlights off on many occasions in winter, since they appear so dim once the salt has built up on them, and separate wipers and washers for them would make things alot easier.

I think its great. I have the "belt" type that goes around the tank in my truck, and it actually does work. It will melt the ice on the windshield when sprayed. The nice thing about the GM wipers too is that the sprayer is on the wiper arm, so its much closer, much more powerful and acts great. Live in a nothern state with a lot of snow / ice / salt on the roads, its a great factory option.

Somewhat like what I have only mine is like a wrap for the tank (kind of like a heated seat element) and this one goes inside the tank.

Don't forget that this system isn't going on a civic or an econobox. Its going on a more luxury-oriented car where you pay to not do little things.

I'm surprised this isn't on Lexus, Infiniti, BMW, etc. cars.
