Headlight Washer

Anyone knows how this works. Not much detail in the OM. I tried with headlights on and pull the stock back for washer fluid to release onto windshield but nothing came out for the headlights. Am I doing something wrong or is the system defective?

I would like to know as well haha, I think according to the manual the headlights need to be on (maybe with the automatic light sensor) and it should come on? But so far, I've yet to see them pop out as if they don't work lol.

It washes the headlights after 5 to 10 normal windshield washes

I'd say every 5-10 time as long as you don't restart your car.

Btw: it's a big mess all over your car when it happens
