2) Headlight washers do not wash when you have DRLs on only.
3) Headlight washers do not wash every time you wash the windshield (with lights on).
4) Headlight washers might not** wash every third time you wash the windshield.
5) Headlight washers will wash the first time you wash your windshield after the lights have been turned on.

That's exactly how they have worked on my E92, E46, M6 and X3....without exception.

If I do this, the fluid only shoots up 1/4 way on the windhshield and my wipers don't turn on. I think this is a fluke on your car BK so consider yourself a lucky man ! Like you, I don't want to disconnect them, but I wish I was the one to control when they squirt
