Same thing happened to me. I wasn't able to find a solution.

Since the washer line is downhill to the headlight it may drain out the headlight nozzle for some time after you use it if there is an air leak anywhere in the fluid line upstream.
Check at the connectors.
Get someone to block the nozzles, another person to spray the headlight fluid, so you can look for the leaky connector while its pressurized.


I never did understand why the need for a headlight washer for a Porsche since I figure that if the car is so dirty the lights can't shine through, the car is way overdue for a wash.
Maybe there are lots of bugs in Germany?

In 1 year I probably washed my Boxster more times than the Wrangler got in 10 years.
