Default Washer nozzles in front of headlights

Hello,

On a IS 250 2014, there are some nozzles in front of both headlights..Are these washer nozzles? Do they actually function or they are there for style.

Every time i initiate the washer fluid for my windshield, i don't see any washer fluid coming out of those nozzles in the front headlights..

Thanks,

You activate these washers the same way you would for your windshield.

They don't spray each time you spray your windshield, however. But once in awhile, you'll notice a bunch of mist above your hood, which is actually the mist from the washers spraying against the headlights. Keep an eye for it and you'll notice.

I believe the headlight washers only activate if your headlights are actually on.

They spray only if the lights are on. They spray on the first pull and then every 5 pulls after that.

I wished we didn't have these in Canada....I really dislike that chrome color washer. I noticed that on the newer models, they make them body color which flows much better. I'd buy an American front bumper if I could....
