while driving? it'll dry real quick actually. have someone check while you spay or vice versa.. only way to be sure. My headlight spray engages the second I pull the windshield wiper fluid lever.

You dont have to be driving for the headlight washers to come on. Your headlights must be set to Auto, not manually on. Than after a few times of pushing the lever for spray it should trigger the headlight ones, its obvious when it happens

As far as I remember they need to be set to AUTO. Auto controls a lot of god damn things lol Your adaptive lighting for example will only work when lights set to AUTO as well... I guess its the same deal for the headlight washers sir If still nothing, your headlight washer pump could be done, or the filter could be clogged.

Just tried it with auto headlight on,and like TBal stated. The second pull triggered the headlight washer. But why would it only spray once? What if i want it to spray more?Thanks guys!

So maybe I dont stand corrected Mine only work on auto as well.

They will only spray once, then once again after few pulls of the lever, 5-6 times, the headlight one will go again...
