Just fitted them and it appears that when the washers are used the windscreen washers operate as normal, but the H/L washers give a quick blast for a couple of seconds and then stop.
Hopefully this is normal operation ?

Oh, one more thing. So I dont break them trying - how do they adjust ? havent looked closely yet, but first impression is that it doesnt look as obvious as the screen washers.

Quite normal & correct. Screen & head lamps are fed from different pumps.

The washers are a ball in a socket so I suppose will adjust, but haven't need to so haven't tried.  :-/

Two options............traditional pin in jet hole method, or small flat blade in the slots by jet hole

its a good good job they run for a short while

Do the headlight washers on the mig only work when the headlights are on or do they work all the time? I remember owning a BMW and they only worked every 7 pulls of the washer / wiper stalk when the lights were on.
