Question Headlamp Bottle washer Pointless Question

While filling my washer bottles up-A thought came to me as why have they put a Black plastic dip stick thing fixed to the lid on the Headlamp washer side, and not on the more important Windscreen washer side?

And it would also be helpful if it worked!

that black plastic thing is a pretty useless idea - whats wrong with a visible line like the main bottle? come to think of it whats the point of two separate bottles in the first place? it seems like the headlight washers will use the main bottle once the headlight bottle is empty anyway?

I'm pretty sure that warning lights and larger capacity bottles are coming soon, been a problem since day 1, rear wash wipe needs a separate reservoir at the back of the car too, like 3 series touring.
