Question Whats the deal with the headlight washers?

When I just washed and cleaned the car,,I wanted to clean off the winshield and hit the washer button,,,Dayum the headlight washers kicked in and sprayed stuff all over the nice clean front end,,,how do you make sure you get just window wash instead of headlight wash.Manual says after ten cycles the headlites get washed,,any thoughts?

LOL, yes, everyone hated having no control over this 'feature'....
I was looking forward to tilting them to squirt strangers, but that didn't
work out so well for me......
I never even give them any thought....
but that sux they 'got' you.....
I'll bet if anyone was watching they got a little chuckle out of that,

they got me too on a freshly washed C63... im not sure if they work only with the lights on due to the fact that i rarely use the washers period. just wish there was a separate button for the headlight washers i guess.
