My wife's Lexus is 19 years old and I don't think we've ever intentionally used the headlight washers.
Same with my MINI; the washers only came on accidentally when I used the windshield washer with the headlights on. It used a lot of fluid for nothing.
It's not a feature I miss.

I think they install them so they can make extra money forcing you to paint them in the car color so you do not have ugly black dots on the front of the car. Never used them on my GT4, glad my 911 does not have them.

Over the years of my 911 ownership, they’ve been about useless and subject to leaking in the bonnet. A PITA to repair given the tight quarters the plumbing runs through.

I REALLY wish my 992 had headlight washers. When driving the car in snowy/slushy/icy/filthy dirty road conditions - which is 6 months of the year where I live, coupled with darkness up to 16 hours a day - the headlight washers got used regularly on previous Porsches. To make them work properly you needed to activate them while traveling above 30 km/hr and use a LOT of washer fluid. As @detansinn said earlier, the LEDs don't generate sufficient heat to melt ice on the headlight covers when on a highway drive, so bringing along gear to frequently clean the headlights (and all the camera lenses BTW) before and during drives is a necessity in a 992 used for foul-weather duty north of the 49th parallel.

I can understand why owners of cars that spend the majority of their lives tucked in the garage or are driven mainly in fair weather don't like the washers...they make a fair mess on the entire front of the car. But damn, they work if you're not afraid to use a bucketload of washer fluid and would rather see than have clean bodywork.
