Hi all,

You know when you pull the lever to jet the screen should the light washers jet twice too?

The wipers dont even get chance to start. I was told at BMW that you had to hold the lever for a while to ge tthem to work not right away??

Any thoughts?

Only if the lights are on. Otherwise they do not pop out and do their thing.

That will be it then!

Too dark round here this time of year.

Thanks.

As mentioned above the headlight washers activate only when the headlights are switched on. I believe they are washed on the first windshield wash then every third time after that. Once the lights are switched off the cycle is reset.

I am so looking forward to spooking people with the headlight washers as I drive out of the work car park

Useful for getting wet those jackasses who walk down the street instead of using the supplied sidewalk ... sprays a surprising amount.
