I haven't used them yet. Probably only in winter to remove slush and salt. Don't see why one would in summer. Wondering how they work. Is the actuator for the lifting door really fast? Is the spray wide or narrow?

Activating the switch causes the washers to pop up out of the bumper and spray a strong stream of windshield washer fluid directly on the headlights.

I have them, and have the same complaint as I did with my Audi: if you wash the windshield while the headlights are on, the headlight washers activate automatically. That's fine on salty winter roads, but in the summer it is a waste of fluid and will also mess up a freshly detailed car.

I have them, but only because the dealer had the color model I wanted on the lot, and it came with it. I don't think I would have gotten it otherwise. Haven't used it much except once at the dealership when the sales guy was showing me how to use it. I was actually pissed at him for doing that because it sprayed all over the car and they had just washed it!
