I once turned them on to see how and if they work. That's the one and only one time I've ever try them then I already forgot that I have them on my car.

Wouldn't mind putting a camera in there so when I go to park they rise up and point down so I can see then when done parking they go back down into the car.

Now that would be useful.

Cold weather climates I can totaly understand having them; so you can clear the ice off your headlights.

I just don't get the point of them. It was impossible in my area NOT to get them if you got the Luxury Pkg, unless you special ordered. I didn't really want them.

I'm the only one to vote yes up to now, but winters in Canada not only create frost but when driving with the muck on the ground they get dirty fast.

Cars in front splash up very dirty slush water and gives the lights a nice layer of dirt cake. The "splash" the headlight washer provide helps.

Don't have them, but would love it if I did. They work quite well from my experience in other cars.

I've been contemplating adding them, but the pricing to get the parts is a bit high. :\

They kind of do, I see a mist cloud from the driver seat every time. But it's a clean mess

I just like having a button instead of a space for a button on that spot. I never press them. Well I did when I first got the car and then realized there was no point.
