Default my headlight washers dont work...i would hate to have them workin cuz i would be goin thru ww fluid

really fast. the tank holds a little over a gallon and a half of ww fluid, you would think it would last a little longer? and no i'm not leaking ww fluid.

Default I've learned to throttle my headlight washer fluid...i hold down

the washer fluid dispenser stalk just long enough for it to engage, and dispense, but I let go just before the headlight washer comes out.

that or I just turn off the headlights, wash, then turn them back on =)

the headlight washers use up so much damn fluid.

they're nice when there's salt on the road. turn your lights off for a second if you're worried.

Default Yeah, the high pressure system really sprays it fast... I try to 'blip' mine, to reduce consumption

but I still go through a gallon a trip....
