Default Headlamp washers: do any 2010 A5s have them? (sline?)

title says it all:

are there headlamp washers on any of the 2010 A5s, maybe the Prestige Slines? Or not?

if you're in canada, yes. In U.S. no headlamp washer for A5 model, only for S5

Yes, the xenons are auto-adjusting (up and down).

I've never really understood why somebody would want headlight washers anyway. I had them on my B5 A4 and constantly tried to avoid using them. All they did was spray on the car and ruin the wash job. I never had my car dirty enough that the small amount of dirt on the headlights impaired their effectiveness. I just don't see the point of them. I'm actually glad I don't have them on my non-S-Line A5.

I'm planning on taking my car back to my home country (the Netherlands) and I'm afraid that they are required by law there

Not sure if exception is made for imported or not, trying to find that out now.

Otherwise not sure what'll happen... haha

At least it'll have the auto adjusting (thats required too)

thanks for the answer!
