Headlight washer hook up?

I just purchased a 2012 cooper convertible and a 2012 countryman S. I have the xenon lights on both cars but the cooper convertible doesn't have the headlight washers on it. But, when you look at its headlights, there the washers appear to be. But they don't have a hose running to them to bring the washing solution to them. I checked on my countryman and the washers look almost identical to the ones that aren't hooked up on the cooper convt. Anyone know if these are indeed functional washers which could be hooked up? If so, anyone done it and have any information on how to do it?

Thanks,

Jason

missing hoses

Did you get an answer on this? I didn't realize when I ordered Xenon headlights that the washers would be included but not hooked up. I would have spent the extra 100 to get them hooked up.

You would have thought the configurator would have at least make a suggestion.

My car has the part you described where it looks like you have the bits but don't. I'm happy to not have it wash my car each time it wants to clean the lights!

Don't hook it up. I disconnected the power to the headlight washers on my 07S. It is a stupid feature. It just gets washer fluid all over the car.
