An apparatus for collecting road surface water by utilizing the flinging action of the rotating tire, the apparatus including an open cell foam pad positioned within the wheel well adjacent an upper and trailing portion of the tire. The foam pad utilizes the capillary action to deposit the collected water in a reservoir. The apparatus further includes a system for directing the collected water to the surface of the headlamp lens thereby providing a wetting of the headlamp lens and thus increasing the transmissibility of the lens even though dirt particles are suspended in the water. |
