i dont like them because they have a lot of pressure and whenever they are used they get my hood and front bumper all soaked

Maybe I should do more investigating into whether they are working or not because I have owned the car 8 mo. and I have never noticed anything like that (I have CWP).

One way to find out is to hold down on the wiper lever for a while and they will fire up. Otherwise, they work only after every five rounds of your regular windshield spray. You should be able to see the spray from across the side of the car. Do that when you are parked so that you can focus and see them.

When your engine is running and your headlights on you can use your windowwasher and the headlightwashers will be activated twice. The water is clearly visible because it sprays very hard against the headlights and you can see a mist. If you get out of the car and check the headlights they should be wet!
