You are so right...its a shame they dont do the wippers with out the lights....as mine ficker so often now I leave them in Auto by day for tunnels etc and at night switch them on like normal as I just dont trust them.... my route home from work is Mway and a 6 mile bit of it has no lighting & the lights have cut out far to often..... only for a second but it makes others think you are flashing them out of a lane

The wippers on the other hand are fab and I love them.
