I dont have them, just a thought.

There was a thread way back when that complained vociferously about the US DM models not having headlight washers and cooled seats! I guess that it works both ways for our Canadian cousins!

So you are saying that the washers are squirting water the whole time that the headlights are on?

The OM shows there is a separate switch for the headlight washers, to the right of the side mirror controls, it is the blank cut out on the panel.

The headlight washers can be
operated at any time by pressing the
headlight washer button located next
to the steering wheel column. The
headlights must be turned on to use
this button. In addition, the headlight
washer operates when the
windshield washers are first turned
on.

The headlight washers use the same
fluid reservoir as the windshield
washers.

And in case you want to know, yes, the reservoir is much bigger in the CDN models, 6.5l vs 2.5l
