Is This Normal
 
I use some blue windshield washer fluid in the X and I have noticed that when the headlight washers do their thing that I have all of this white foam on the hood. This doesn't happen with windshield washers only on the headlights. Is this normal due to the high pressure of the headlight nozzles? Or am I just using the wrong fluid?

Thanks

Try a diff fluid. My headlight washer never creates foam.....:confused:

I have the headlight washers and haven't seen any foam on the hood after using them. Maybe try a different brand?

Any sugestions on what brand? Here in Germany If I buy it on the economy it cost an arm and a leg.

Weird...my guess would be that the HL washer orifice is
"atomizing" the liquid in a different manner than the
windshield squirter, and improperly; sorta like when you
get near the end of a squirt bottle of wheel cleaner, etc.,
and the last few squirts come out foamy.

Just a wild ass guess, but the flow and/or the orifice is
screwed up,imo.

Sounds almost dirty and scintillating, huh?!

Thanks for the help. When I take it in for the next service I will ask.
