You can of course ignore the change, but it is unknown how this will affect your safety on the road, meaning driving in "dirt" conditions.
Hopefully this explains it a bit  |
Well, I found out that there is another reason why one would want to change sprayers together with LED light retrofit. If you keep your original sprayers and install LED light, every time they turn on, your hood will be spayed instead of your headlights. Newer sprayers have different tips, pointing directly at LED lights instead of your hood. I was able to replace just the tips. Much easier DIY ...
