Xenon headlights with retractable, high intensity power wash

So how exactly does this work? I can see what appears to be a water line running into the back of the light housing but from there I'm clueless.

thats what I was guessing since there is a section of the headlight trim that appears to contain the sprayer. I havent had to use my my windshield washers yet, Im guessing they spray at the same time. I guess I could just get off my *** and go try them to find out.

The high pressure wash only works when the headlights are on.They fire the fisrt time you hit the windscreen washer,then every 5th time after that.Mine spray twice,and at highway speeds all over the bonnet and windscreen
I think it looks kind of cool,as the spray it lit by the lampsIn heavy snow I use it to get ice and slush off.
