How full is the water bottle? If below a certain level, they won't work.

If you don't know, top it up and see if they then work.

Oh, and they only work if the lights are on the proper ON setting! Not the DRL "off".

I will have a look tomorrow morning the level of liquid

Thank you for your prompt response

If no factory xenon lights it is only every 5th spray the headlights are washed too, and as Daim says, only when switch is in on headlights position.

I have tried to add water and make sure that it is full, but nothing.

Does anyone knows where the pump is?

Mine would always stay on the feature as I use the full beam a lot but recently I've moved it back to normal DRL setting and noticed that the washers weren't working as often as they use too......This is why lol thanks for that mate

I have the same issue, the headlights are definitely on the on position (upright) and the fuse and relay is okay because i have check them, and i cannot seem to be able to get to the pump or the headlight washers themselves, does anyone know how i could get to these or what could be wrong with them
