Can anyone tell me what I'd have to do to make the headlight wash wipe work whenever I trigger the intensive wash? I don't seem to use intensive wash much, but it would be handy if it triggered the headlight wash wipe straight away.
Or... if this is meant to happen already let me know and I'll start fixing it :)

I'm still collecting bits for my conversion ... but as far as I know the headlight wipers will work with every 5th time you spray normally on the windscreen ie stalk towards you. The intensive works independantly.

I'm sure to be corrected in a sec.

ahh.. so I've probably got some problems then!

Well, once I've got the little b^b^darlings working properly I'll be aiming for the headlight washers/wipers to not work at all with the normal screenwash, but to work everytime with the intensive wash.

If anyone knows how to achieve that - please let me know!

Mine wash every 5th time unless I have the headlights on and then they wash every time. I think that is how BMW set it up.
