I'll need more 'headlight fluid'

Washer fluid goes as fast as gas these days (costs more too!)

I think I have added a gallon of squirter fluid, diluted,
in 7+ years. I guess we don't get out much.

At least you don't have the old style mercedes headlight wipers w/the 3" blades!

I gotta agree, when I want to wash the windshield clear of winter grime, etc and the headlights get blasted with fluid, I always say, well, another fill-up is due. Is it me, or are the headlight washers a worthless waste of washer fluid? I use the Rain-X stuff in the winter and I'm blowing thru it like gasoline this winter!!!

Yes, I too use the Ran-X fluid, costs more than premium gas. The good news is that the system squirts the headlights (only if they are on) every 5th time the "S" button is pressed.

If you do not want to squirt the headlights, pull the stalk towards you instead of using the "S" button.
