Right below the headlights there are some panels that look like something should go there--these panels are right between the main headlight section and the section of honeycomb that houses the fog lights. I noticed that the smaller of the two panels feel loose on mine but I didnt want to pull them out. Is there any reason that they are there? Is this where those headlight washers are or would a 07 Pkg1 not have the washers.

You are correct that houses the headlamp washers. I believe that VW only produced 2006 models with them.

Is there a button for them or how can I tell? I never got the owner's manual with my car--still waiting on that to come in the mail from my dealer.

If you had them - they activate every fifth time you engaged the control to clean your windshield. They do not have a dedicated control.

I have heard people can pull them up with their fingers but you have to over come a good deal of pressure to pull them out of hiding. I tried on my car a 2006 model and didn't have luck mainly cause I feared breaking the part off.

Follow up with your dealer and have them yank a manual out of another GTI on the lot. That has more info in it then you ever wished for.

Ive heard that before, but on mine they work everytime I pull the windshield wipers to spray, as long as the headlights are on... I get my friends with them everytime I get the chance, they spray everywhere...

There was another topic created for this already. Looking in the owners manual would have answered that question, as well. Please use the search function.

So that's what it looks like...

There's a penis joke to be made, but I'm not awake enough for that just yet.
