Hi, I bought kit to install headlights washers for my van (tank, pump, sprinklers, etc), but I'm missing relay, which one do I need? Also how to connect everything toghether? I know that headlights pump would only work if headlights are on. Thanks for help.

The part number shown on ETKA is 701955200
This is different to the part number shown on the Washer relay I removed temporarily (had to remove it for a while as I had to cut the very crusty original pipes to remove the headlamp grille).
This is my one (I think) but this is apparently a fuel pump relay. ( If I am correct that this is my vans headlight washer relay then you may find the fuel pump relays easier to get hold of and no doubt cheaper)
On my to do list is to fit new water pipes to the grille. And then I shall try to remember which of the many available slots the relay goes in. I have a feeling that it is in an additional relay plate on top of the standard one but I shall dig out the wiring diagram I used to locate it in the first place and post it here if you've not worked it out before hand.
I am intrigued as to why you decided to fit them. I think they are really for ice and snow and we dont really get a lot of that here.
They might be handy for some really muddy offroading occasionally but I cant say I have missed them at all.
My van began its working life in Sweden so it also has the lights on dipped beam permanently if the ignition is on so I dont often use switch to turn the headlights on. I have to switch it on for full beam but day to day it isn't often necessary.
After I had cut the pipes, I drove somewhere and had been using the screen washers and had required full beam too and when I stopped, there was washer fluid dripping out all over the place. It took me a while to work out the problem. They squirt a LOT of fluid. Hence the relay removal.
