Yes, all bi-xenon headlights with brightness over 2600 lumens (all of them) have to include auto leveling system and washers. Everything under don't have to have them. Hella last year announced low cost HIDs which had brightness under this limit without all that fancy features. Halogens have under 2200 lumens.
Didn't realize, that washers are European cars speciality
Actually this is silly and doesn't have so big effect in different conditions than winter. Glad that this not ruin car design, like old off roads and Volvos with headlight wipers.
