They come on when the headlights are on and you wash the windshield. How do you know both motors are bad? You might check the fuse.

The dealer told you that both motors were bad? why didn't they replace them. Oh well that's history. I am not sure on your car, but the motors average about $150/per. Check with the parts shop here. You may have to get them from a auto recycler. How badly do you want them back anyway???

There you go, how much must you pay for clean headlights. If you go the recycled route, make sure the connectors are still there, they might have just clipped them off when they removed the motors.
