I can't imagine a time when the lights would be so dirty that such a gizmo would be necessary. The sharply swept back nature of C6 headlights tends to keep them very clean under all conditions I've experienced.

The last thing I would want is to see spray all over the front of the car just because the windshield needed it!!

Also they (Chevy) add side lights about where the Z06 plate goes on cars going to Europe.

My Porsche Carrera has headlight washers - I have no idea how to operate ‘em.

The Corvette's operate automatically every X times you use the windshield washer (I think every fifth time). I assume the other manufacturers do the same since I have never seen a separate control for operating them. I think that is how the European regulation is written ...
