I just noticed the F80 has headlight washers

Who knew this damn thing has headlight washers? I recently looked at the window sticker and saw it was part of exec package. I cannot figure out how to use them but I can see the plastic inserts where they pop out!

The headlight washers activate with every third wiper stalk pull when the headlights are on. Also I think mine are programed to run every so often with the headlights on, I've seen them come on sometimes when I start my car.

Fun fact: Only the older F80s have them. The 2018 and up models don't have them. Some EU law requires the xenon equipped cars to have headlight washers, so when LED headlights became standard BMW dropped the washers.
