I have not tried it again as it makes a pretty big blast and messes up my new car finish

Also, it certainly wasn't the 10th time I did that.

Anyone else experience this?
How could tell that the headlamp washers came on? I have over 5000 miles on my C350 and have driven in a lot of rain. I have never seen these things work. I have parked my car in the rain with the wipers going and nothing happens with the headlight washers.

^I think you have to activate the 'washers' 10 times for the headlamps to work. I tried doing it also, with the window washer, but I did not see anything happing other then the unsightly watermarks on the window on the left of the drivers window... I stop at gas stations all the time to clean it off. Maybe Im just strange lol.

I saw the spray (liquid, not nozzle) come up from the bumpers ... it sprays really hard and when I checked, the lights were wet

From my experience, the headlamp washers come out on the first AND tenth time that you use the windshield washers.
