Yep - comes on with the windscreen wiper spray only. It does so at lockout intervals so if you spray your windscreen first and get a headlight spray, you won't get a headlight spray again if you spray your windscreen again. No way to manually activate just the headlight washers dude.

I personally think BMW put the headlight washer in as a novelty to sell cars. It doesn't really clean the headlights near as efficiently as plain old fashioned cloth.
