Hello yall

I just imported my 2018 ZL1 to Switzerland.
Preparing it now for the inspection at the DMV over here.
We have to have headlamp washers with Xenon lights.
Now I have to hook up the new pump. I want to install it, so it only sprays when I have the low beams on.
Can someone send me a wiring diagram of the lighting system, and the one for the power distribution please.
Thanks alot in advance.

Greetings from across the pond.

First of all, congrats on the monster, enjoy

Can't you get around this requirement by installing a lower output HID bulb? That headlight washer will very likely look a bit, hm, homegrown... no offense, I just don't see how it can be done well with such a low profile recessed unit as ours.

(The EU and its idio[syncra]tic regulations... but I won't digress now )

Maybe I could, but then I would have to get that light output certified, that shows that the output is below 2500 lumens. That document would cost me way more than a whole washer kit.
I found one that is actually not looking all to bad.

Ah, I see. And a committee in Brussels would probably have to ratify that document, too. Then ask a supervisory board to review it and have you renew every 3 months.

Actually, this one doesn't look bad at all, I underestimated the aftermarket a bit .

Yes, that is pretty much how it would be getting that document..
Awesome thank you!
I just need to find a suitable power source that provides + with the ignition on. And I would also need the scematics for the windshield washer. Will use the same switch for the headlamp washer.

Sure. As you can see, we 2018 owners have a cool little washer fluid level sensor with alerts integrated into the DIC
