pull back on the washer fluid for the windshield your headlight will get cleand also
the headlights have to be on
turn on your lights then pull on the lever to clean your windshield and hold it until the headlights are sprayed...
it always makes people laugh when they see it happening
This is available only in pkg #2, yes!??? Along with all the other cold-weather features like heated seats and so on ...

If someone got this to work and does NOT have pkg #2, please let me know.
It think it runs every _fourth_ time you run your windshield cleaner...
I have package #1 and it works. You have to have the headlights on and you need to pull back for at least 10 seconds. I think i heard that the sunroof can't be open either but don't qupte me on that. anyways I have package one, I have headlight washers
Mine go on when the headlights aren't "on" (in DRL mode).

According to the manual the headlights get washed the first time you pull the washer after starting the car and then every fifth time after that.
OK, every fifth it is... I was close. :)
Mine wash with the sunroof open, I just make sure that I'm going at least 20mph if I use them with it open. Mine will work everytime I pull back on the lever, IF my headlights are turned on.
Mine also work everytime i wash my windows, but it does say in the manual that it is every fifth time.
If you ever drive a convertible, don't wash your windows at all while the roof is down. I learned that on my little trip to Florida.
you know, it could be every fifth time and not when the headlights are on... i think i tried to get them to work so i could watch them when i first got my car. we tried a couple times then put the headlights on and they worked... could have been the fifth time that we tried

every package comes with it >:D
i read somewhere that they are going to phase out the headlight wipers and the cloth on the doors the doors not exactly sure but did read about the light washers this is to cut down on costs better get the first set while they are still available :D
Is the headlight washers only spray? It doesn't have wipers rite? Cuz i only see the spray and the soap stay on the headlight.
does not come with any wipers unless U get out of the car and wipe them yourself hehe 8)

personally i wouldnt open the sunroof/moonroof because i would get wet inside the car, yes they spray that far
Wipers? This isn't your uncle's Volvo.
my sister was standing next to my driver side door today and i pulled the washer lever back and the headlight washers came on (i was hoping they would and they did!) and she got SOAKED! AHAHA it was so funny. some got in her mouth as well which im sure isnt too healthy but damn was it funny!! haha.
