The washers for my headlights have stopped working, I have a 05 D3. The front and back screen washers work fine and the washer mix is strong. I have followed the debate about fuse 11, is there a separate fuse for the headlight washers and does that need upgrading as well?
Thanks

You probably know that they don't wash every time. I think it's the same fuse but i'm not 100% sure. Roel

It's every 5th wash or time based, plus they won't wash the headlights if your washer is giving the low fluid message. 
Does it do it when you first switch on the engine , switch the lights on and then give them a squirt? Bodsys Brake Bible

Thanks for the answers, I wasn't aware of them not operating each time but did know that the lights needed to be on. Before this very cold snap I replaced the fluid to 50/50 mix and I wonder if some of the lighter mix was left in the headlight washer section as suddenly this evening (at -4) everything started working again. I'll just keep an eye on it.
