Looking from the front, the headlamp one is the R/H of the 2. If the motor is running then i would suggest the filter is blocked. To clean the filter just pull the pump out from the tank, the filter is the rubber bung that can now be seen, remove this and clean/replace.

Other way round. The headlamps are washed with a greater pressure than the screen.

Cars with head lamp washers need to have a strong mix of washer fluid. Otherwise they block up
