One is for the headlamps and the other for the front and rear windows, I believe.......

Take a close look at the covers to see if they have little pictures on them.

Ok, on my 06 MCS, the Drivers side is for the headlamp washer and the Passenger side is for the windows per the little pictures.

Other models may use one for the front window and the other for the rear window ?????

The one on the left side is for the headlight cleaning system and the one on the right is for the windshield and rear window washer.

the one on the passenger side is for the windows, the drivers side is for the headlamps but uses no wipers, just high pressure when the high beams are on, I believe. refer to the owners manual
