Are you sure? Because I have tried that but the headlight washer did not spray? Long ago I can't remember what exactly what I did. But the washer sprayed from the headlight. Now I tried to get it to work again but can't seem to make it work?

They work only if the headlights are on and you use your wipers. It gets really messy on a warm summer night when you just want to clean of the window and the whole car gets wet.

I know for fact that it did not spray.Because the headlight was dry.
