Default 08 WRX/STI onwards wiper functions

Does anyone know if when you pull the wiper stalk forward, the water should spray windscreen and headlights (if equipped and on) together with wipers?

cheers,

Yes it does, there is a slight delay before the headlight washers engage.
About 1 second from memory.

I normally pull the stalk several times to clean the windshield as I don't like getting water all over the bonnet :P

cheers,
Bruce, if it's a similar setup to the '06, the headlights get washed with the screen but only when they're switched on.

but definately should, i actually played around with this abit,

with headlights on - wipers go first then headlight washers about 1- 2 second delay

but if you have just sidelights on or highbeams the lights get washed first then the windscreen.... weird i know...maybe its just my car...not sure
