Right this is something I've thought about on every Mini that I've owned (there have been a few):p

When we work the washers the wee arm comes out and squirts the head lights, when this happens you see the light beam pattern dip/change a bit because of the arm thing.

My question is this:

do you think another road users will notice the change in my light beam pattern and could mistake it for you flashing them with the lights. I'm always careful with my 1st and 5th press of the washers just incase someone mistakes it.

lol I have operated my washers parked infront of the shop and can see the reflection in the window... doesn't really effect the beam too much as the beam is aimed at the ground. The mist created by the washers lights up and makes it really obvious what happening anyway.

I often forget and operate them passing a bus stop and spray innocent by-standers lol they all look impressed though haha
