Does any use their headlight washers?

I just had an issue with my headlight washers, and finally disconnected the headlight washers. I've had my 2003 e500 for 12 years. I don't think I have never had a situation where I needed to use this system. It makes a bigger mess if you're one of those who cares about keeping your car clean. Does anyone really use these?

I've seen them come on a few times. In 2008/2009 they got rid of the button on the dash and they automatically come on when you use the windshield washer fluid 5 times and the headlights are on. Seen it spray while driving in a snow storm and just regular driving when the roads are covered with salt. In those instances it doesn't really matter because the car isn't clean anyway.

I use the headlamp washers quite a bit in the winter (salt) up here in New England. My car is an '05, so they're operated by their own push-button. I love the option, but if I was in Florida I'd probably never need it

If you lived in the Atchafalaya bayou region during love bug seasons you would be using the washers every day.
