Is there a general obligation to fit headlamp washers to every vehicle regardless of its approved lighting system?

Correct answer

No; some lighting systems can require it for type approval.

There is no universal requirement. The need for the device depends on approval requirements applicable to the lighting system. Some systems do require headlamp cleaning, so do not remove or disable a required device. Keep headlamps clean to maintain effectiveness. Road type alone does not determine this technical requirement.
