    There is normally a separate pump for the headlamp washers, either a fuse or unplug the pump at a guess

      Can't be turned off, on the plus side, cars with afl, have a much bigger washer bottle,, less topping up, as the normal ones don't hold very much

          Won't that be an MOT fail then if not sorted?

            No idea but I have another bcm with headlight washers but no tpms. Tpms originally didn't come with my car so they can't fail me on that.

            If worst comes to the worst I'll swap bcms

                All depends what the testers like. Mine went straight through with aftermarket hids in. As long as beam image is correct they won’t even dig any deeper

                    Yes, that's the correct procedure

                          I know a solution!

                          Trade me your headlights/leveling and front bumper and you can have my standard halogen*cough*HID*cough* lights and bumpers :P



                          On another note you could just unplug the motor for the washers or disconnect the pipes from behind the bumper. The water will still squirt out but onto the floor instead of the headlights :P

                              If i don't want mine operate i go gentle on the wiper stalk and and hold less than 2 seconds, hold it any longer then it will activate the headlight washers.
