Retractble headlamp washers
 
We just purchased a MINT condition CPO 2008 X5 3.0i with only $10,000 miles last week. It has the COLD WEATHER PACKAGE in it and the owners manual says that it has the retractable headlamp washers but 1) we can not figure out where they are and 2) we do not know how to operate them. Can anyone give us any ideas? Thanks

They are right below the headlights. You should see the cut outs pretty easy. They pop out when activated. If I recall they activate when you wash the windshield, but only when the headlights are on. So if the headlights aren't on, the washer fluid will only squirt out on the windshield. I personally don't like the headlight washers becuase the stream is very strong and makes a big mess all over the hood.

On a similar note... anyone know if it is possible to deactivate the headlight washer so that it doesn't spray at night if you activate the windshield washer?

To me, headlamp washer is a wasted option. I can definitely live without it.

Thanks, guess we won't put the washer on when the headlights are on.

I guess its good thing that I haven't found how to operate. Can certainly live without them!!!

they are kinda cool though.

Do they pop out behind the two little square cut outs below the headlights?

yes
