Head light washer???
How do you get the head light washer to come on? I have an 05 x5 and it has this S (stands for special?) symbol on the wiper controls, and i thought hitting that will force the head light washer to come on. I tried that but only the windsheild wipers cleaner came on and does its preprogrammed dealio. Do i need to be in drive mode for this to activate the headlight washer as well? Or how in the world does it come on?

The headlight washer works when the head lights are on.

With lights on, by merely just hitting the windshield cleaner, not the S, will this also turn on the headlight washer?

Yes, headlights on and pull back on the wiper stalk.

But won't wash the headlights everytime...may be every 3rd or 4th time. This is to conserve your windshield fluids.

Does heated water come out just when you press S?

I tried this countless times, and it seems that mine does not work.
I will make a trip to the dealer to get them checked out.

According to my X5 2002 owners guide the headlight wash operates every 5th cycle of the windshield wash.
