Headlight washers for bi-xenons - finally worked it out!

This may help one or two people who have the Bi-Xenons.

After 10 months of owning the Cayman, i've finally worked out how to operate the headlight washers! I originally thought that the headlight washers operate after so many screen washes (and if the headlights are switched on). However, I have never noticed them working.

There is a very small button on the underside of the wiper stalk, close to the steering wheel column. You need to have the headlights switched on and press this button for a very spectacular spray from the headlights washers. A fair amount of water comes out of the jets at high pressure. I wouldn't recommend trying this out if you've just washed your car.

I'm sure it's in the manual but the way I read it seemed to indicate that the headlights are washed automatically after a certain number of screen washes. This doesn't appear to be true and I think you have to manually wash the headlights (unless i've missed something).
