Angry headlight washer problem

Hi guys, hope you can help. I had my front bumper painted on my 2002 LS430 and I think the shop failed to "plug" in the pop-up auto washer for the headlights cause after I got it home it wasn't working. I'm pretty sure this is the problem because they also forgot to do the auto leveling headlights. I caught that prior to leaving the lot and they had it fixed in 5 min.
thanks

Were your headlights on? The washers only work with the headlights are on.

flimsy in terms of how powerful it sprays or the quality of the washer itself? If the quality, I'll give you that. You can flip the cover and it doesn't feel like it's very solid. If you're talking the spray, I find it works fine because it actually casts off so much fluid that it wets the hood and windshield too.

You called it alexusanja, I didn't have my lights on when I was trying it. Works fine.
Just got my LS a few months ago- best car I've ever owned and this is a great site.
Thanks again and from Ontario Canada, have a great holiday

THUMBS UP !!!! ClubLexus does it again. Glad we could help. I only know this because I did the same thing when I first got my LS. I had my spouse go out, I pressed the button... oh carp. It's not working. Read the manual "...only work with headlights on..." ha ha.
