The Saab one makes me imagine a little dude inside pushing and pulling the wiper arm in & out X-D
;-)
:-(
Lol 😂
Like a piston lol.. even their wipers are inspired from automobile engineering. The best always suffers.
@@EggGemera why you sad
And the best design and more functional wiper goes to SAAB............
Saab is very underated
Indeed, it was also Saab who invented headlight wipers, so they should have the best system for it
@@felixmattsson2535 not every invertor is necessarily a good inventor but I agree they are exceptional at craftsmanship
@@mverick5444 so underrated they are no more
Amen !!! ! !!!
these things actually cleaned your headlight unlike modern ones
I know that’s why I prefer older cars
just a gimmick feature
@Temmie Flakes Yeah, but they still have a "cleaning system" which is just the spray sans the wiper
I've never had dirty headlights even though I have driven in quite bad weather on gravel roads
@@romeohotelromeomikeооо&
Its funny how the wipers haven't been 'replaced' by anything better. They just took them away and now the washer fluid just... dribbles and leaves a mess.
And it doesn't even clean it well if there's anything more than a bit of dust
I’ve never had a car that had them.
That includes a 244, 744, and 745.
And after driving in almost 30 Canadian winters.... quite honestly... I’ve never felt the need to have any headlight cleaning system.
@@Bartonovich52 you would quickly change your mind after driving in Baku on a wet day.
Thats because headlight lenses were glass that did not get scratched. Nowadays they are polycarbonate(plastic) which get easily scratched.
@@RoopeLuukkainen And the head lights are not the flat surface from glass but in new cars headlights are from plastic as you said and have a million different dents and other different shapes and the wiper must have a very complicated mechanism to wipe such a weird shapes surface
BMW headlight wipers are just so adorable in their criss-cross pattern. I mean, its just so cute and funny to look at 4 individual tiny wipers wiping 4 individual headlights at the same time in an X pattern.
ikr they look like stick bugs haha
01:13 there is a sound of little horses that move those wipers in SAAB
@Gappie Al Kebabi That's why it's got as many horse powers as it does 🤣
1:01 Polski Fiat 125p
Reminded me of the lada!
Polski Fiat have that feature and cars costing 100k doesnt
Wipers work better than the washers we have today tbh, they didnt leave a mess ALL over the front. Anyways, awesome video!
Everyone says the Saab is the best but the last Volvo one is my favorite. It's a little, cuter version of the bigger one used on the main windshield. That's so adorable.
I rlly like saabs
Much more useful than the new fancy ones that just spray water onto the headlights and not actually wipe the contaminants off.
Love headlight wipers still wish cars of today still had them.i had many cars in the 80s with headlight wipers fiat tipo Vauxhall Cavalier Volvo
Opel*
1:01 wow man :D
1:02 polish fiat
We used to call him Pezec (exYugoslavia)
@@BurimiruB not Pezejac?
I like the Mercedes and Volvo 960 wipers, they look efficient, the blades doesn't hit the lamp frame
Oldschool wipers are much better, that new washers. I have BMWs e12 e23 and Volvo 940 with wipers, and GLA with washers. And gla sucks
Saab and Polski Fiat has the coolest hedlights wipers
Along with BMW
the circular wipers are very clever
I think volvo and saab are one of the most known to Make these back in the days
Autozone, I need new wiper blades for my headlights... 🤔
This just makes me miss Saab
Yet a modern 'wiping' system for some newer car costs more and is rubbish...
Thank you for this... I know you compiled this, verses filming it all yourself, but I would love to see a compilation like this where the headlights were dirty/muddy to see how effective each of these systems is
Fun fact:
No one searched for this video, it's going to have millions of views some day
The first time I saw a thing seems ugly and useless about an E30. Thanks god all E30's equipped such funny mechanisms are of course broken.
Sadly, I don't think it's even possible to have them on new cars, since the headlamps are generally made from plastic and wipers would scratch them.
Cars were built better when they didn't cheap out on materials.
Sadly plastic headlight covers are actually mandatory and not a case of manufacturers cheapening out. Glass is insanely dangerous if you crash into a pedestrian.
Afaik the last glass headlight car was the volvo V70 / XC70 P2, which was forced to drop them in the 2005 update, meaning the headlight wipers also went away.
@@Fradias11 Thank you, I didn't know that. But what really bothers me is their susceptibility to yellowing and scratches. All cars with plastic headlights I had were having these problems. I wonder if new ones are better, since technology has surely developed after 20 years or so. Or if they could perhaps use similar technology they use on window glass, so it doesn't cut the pedestrians. Although I guess since they aren't meant to last that long, it's no longer a bother.
The catch is... those headlights were made of *glass.* Of course, there are workarounds for that, to make it work today, but why bother and spend, when you can sell washer fluid and high-pressure pumps at greater rates?
Oh ! A little man comes out of the first one. How terribly amusing.
And from Opel Kadett C 1978 ?...
Actually the headlight vipers are way better than the modern ones today. The completely spoil the car’s paint!
Saab was inventer of this thing
man, ive got a '93 900 and when i tell you that the engineers behind SAAB thought of everything, i mean they thought of EVERYTHING. all of it is so thought out, down to the little "fresh air" vents in the center of the dash.
To much BMW cars ,where is a Lada 2107?
0:29 Those are the saddest headlight wipers I've ever seen.
I would say the BMW ones are. They're stupid, the wiper blades look like they were haphazardly placed there. If they stop in the wrong position they cut your headlight beams in half. At least the volvo ones return to the bottom of the headlight when at rest.
And they sound like saying "kill me please".
Have to agree
wall e
SAAB was first I'm pretty sure.
Saab best. Coolest lada.
It is more satisfying to look than just today headlight washer
i can see the volvo windshield wiper dangling
Why this manufacturer stop making this? Because it is unusual.
Cost
Manufactures moving from glass to "safer" Plastic Headlight and cost .
Literally nobody died because they didn’t have headlight wipers. Lol.
My Nissan N13 has wipers, and they stay horizontal as they move, they are attached with two arms. They're also supposed to wash but the pump is dead.
This is so savage but why aren’t cars headlights like this now see back then when it Came to technology they were so advanced they thought of every fucking thing and now today you can’t really think of shit because they than done it all
Its woke "climate change" , charge more deliver less or something like that and you have accountants running car companies. See what happened to BMW last week.., they now charging monthly subscription to use heated driver seat .. Next if your credit card is decline , you can not use the brakes.. 😄
I wish these would make a comeback
Saab👏👏👏
Yeah I agree the Saab wiper is very cool !
Is this a car with wipers... Or these are wipers with a car
According to me these arw useless🙄
I’ve always loved headlight wipers even though I've never seen a practical use for them
It's because you don't live in Sweden wherein snows a lot.
@ thedood7471
I live in Canada.
Never needed a headlight wiper system.
nice headlights
0:51 oh yeah baby, dance with me.
1:02 Polski Fiat 125p 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱 Poland
volvo is the best👍😉
warm greeting from Indonesia🇲🇨
Volvo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Remember this on the old mercedes s class ?
With headlight washers
Saab was first
I like the BMW one
It looked the best on a mercedes w124 500e which wasnt shown in this video
In India, they even cut cost by providing just single hand in windshield wipers of some cheap cars and here they have headlight wiper in 80's cars!
Love them ❤️ its so 80s and 90s Style modern Cars 👎👎👎
I like you tube 😁
My parents owned a 1979 Vauxhall Royale (Opel Senator A/Holden Commodore) which had headlamp wipers, which fascinated me.
The BMW 3 series & Volvo 264 ones are certainly funky!
Yes even the round headlight lights on l70's Volvo 244/242 /164E/164TE has wipers too .
I had Volvo S60 2004 with bi-xenon Lights and wipers. One of the latest Volvos with headlight wiper system.
haha! My volvo 850 ones work well, had a ford sierra with them aswell!
BMW's designs are very intrusive.
They have 3 washer container, one for Concentrate, Windscreen then the Headlight washer. Also when outside temperature below 5c the windscreen jets heats up on BMW E24 and also E32/E28.. indeed very convoluted design
Mercedes best
I never thought of Fiat also having it ! :-))
weird flex
W124
THANKS
All are lazy
But SAAB was best wiper
I think so too
Headlights washer system is one of the stupid and unnecessary invention.. Its ridiculous..
Saab wiper washer and the Volvo GL wipers are cool
My 2000 Volvo V70cross country has them
Whos watching this at 3am?
Funny, how every car with this system I love, but not even because of this system.
Welcome to Volvo world.
Its? Just so goofy i cant discribe 😅
Love that old techniques
This video gave me satisfaction
Y does the cars even need a freakin headlight wipers...lol
Cool!
Not all car manufactures have headlamp wipers.
You showed the same systems many times.
VOLVO Very Obsolete Liability Vectoring Out
Watching at 3.16 am lamo.
Surprisingly fascinating - Thank You for this compilation (small note though, MB 300D is a W123).
Thanks for the correction . I have updated the info .
So damn useless,just to make cars more expensive
Love the Austin maxi headlight wipers
I haven seen one o Austin Maxi before . will check
Fiat 125p and Saab have best wiper system
Bmw wipers rocks
Cool
👍💖👍💖👍💖👍💖💖👍💖👍💖👍💖
don't quite understand why headlight wipers where needed anyway
In places where you have non sealed roads its helps clean the headlights . Even in highways if you have dust & rain , just like your windscreen it needs cleaning for good light.
Better than the new ones
Nice :)
The orange lada one looked funny tho ✌🏻
Its a fiat 125p not a Lada
Planning to modify my Mehran with classic headlight wipers.
always was fascinated by headlight wipers, but my dad used to tell me they were junk
They are junk
They are junk.
Just another thing to break and a squeegee and paper towel works just as good at a gas station.
cute....
why not make anymore
🇮🇳 nice 👍
The renault 18?????
Volvo’s design was like a 1 minute after thought, BMW’s design not even gonna coment
Why is this a thing
