They're present but not working. Found the fuse for them, blown 20amp, replaced that and they're still not working. Don't appear to be blocked.

Am I right in thinking that they come on with the windscreen washers or is there a switch I haven't found yet? :doh:

Head lights wash when lights are on and then you wash the front windscreen
It is a separate pump on the washer bottle, so you could run a live to it to make sure thats not busted, and causes fuse to blow
be careful though as if its blown a 20 amp protect the temp new live wire

every 3rd wash, mine do it everytime i wash when the lights are on, think you just have to hold it down enough... one thing i do notice is the lights look like their dimming when you wash them, hope people aren't thinking i'm flashing them lol
