Yer they are definately the heated kind tnx a lot for the pics!
Do they work well in winter? in other words no scraping etc.. just get in and squirt the washers and it clears all the ice?

Well I've never had them frozen, that's for sure! I thought it was normal that they didn't freeze up, but after a year or so I found out why...

I don't think they heat the fluid enough to get rid of the ice though. It's more to keep them warm enough to stop them from clogging up I suppose. OTOH, this car manages to keep the spray from freezing better than any other I've had, so it may well have a moderate-yet-noticable influence.

Glad to help, btw.
