K, so i got the 300 sport 4matic, and the day i got my car, i asked my dealer about the front headlight washer that comes with the car if it would come with my car iwas purchasing.
I only knew about this, from my sons watching videos and what not off the internet. My dealership said yes we get them, and when i loo kat the front of my car, there is a slot under each headlight, where the fluid would come out, but after i tested it out, i pressedthe windshiled fluid to come out 10 times,
but no headlight washer sprayed out.
??
do i have that option, or are those 2 slots there for looks.

Headlamp washers are part of the P2 package for US cars.
P2 includes folding rear seats, bi xenon headlamps, headlight washers, and rear sunshade.

Those washer are messy, not sure what is the real purpose. I didn't have to press the windshield fluid 10 times to make it come out. Each time the washer spray the headlight, it just make it even dirtier. Good for tailgater but .

The lights must be on. Page 112 in the Operator's Manual.

And it is included in P2, which you would have if the openings are on the bumper.

I thought the headlight washer nozzles come with the xenon lights. Make sure you have the headlights on when you try it.

We, in Canada, drive through misty weather and the whole front of the car can be covered in ice. When your MB Star, on the hood, is covered in ice, you know you are in Canada.

Under these conditions, the washer fluid sprayed on the headlights does not really clean the headlights, but this prevents them from being covered in ice.

By the way, when in operation and on the road, the spray goes all over the hood too, but who cares.

... and it sprays your roof and the car behind you. Great way to tell those tailgating SUVs to back-the-f!- off!

i never understood why your headlights need washers. is it for when they get muddy or something? (sorry i live in SOCal where we dont have extreme weather)
