Given that fitting headlamp washers involves a new washer bottle, pipes and two new wings, I would argue that the easiest thing to do is buy two Halogen headlights from EBAY (they are rare but do pop up!) and fit those. I believe it is legal to have halogen headlights without washers - certainly there are thousands (if not millions) of low-end vehicles in Europe with that spec!

And before anyone says you can't get halogens for the X5 - you can in Europe, mine has them!
