I couldnt help at laughing while I read the last few posts of Anita explaining it and Infinirx not understanding. Nothing on either of you, it was just funny for some reason
So just what Anita said, its either or. Both options you must have the headlights on. When they are, you can push the button in front of the shifter. Or you can activate the windshield wiper/washer and it will also do the headlights at the same time.
I personally prefer not to activate them because of the overspray on to hood. If you want to annoy the car next to you, then activate both the windshield and headlight washers,

RXSF, it's one of those things that's easier to show than explain in words. What can I tell you.
Now I turn on the windshield wiper fluid to annoy the people behind me. It's great for tailgaters
Combine it with the headlight washers, yes, it'll do a great job. I don't use either very often either because same as you, the overspray. Winters are the worst. I need it for the salt but don't want it freezing all over the car.

I wish it were that simple, I already tried sealing just the top of the headlight but still getting moisture. I suspect that water's coming in from the the edge where the indicator light is, and I can't get to that without pulling the headlight off. I would probably do what Mandyfig or Derekchoi did which was to seal the whole perimiter just to be sure.

I was afraid you were going to say something like that. I thought it was tackled by just sealing the top.

Just take your time, and try not to force anything. You should be fine.
