they are on seperate pumps. i disconnected mine when removing the bumper so fluid leaked out of the pipe and tank. when refitted it took ages for the fluid to squirt out of the headlight washers. lights on or off makes no difference.

The pumps tend to seize, take the cover off it by carefully bending the 3 prongs. Then lubricate with wd40 and gently turn the spindle to free it loose and jobs a good un.
I occasionally use them once a week to prevent the motor from seizing again!

Lamp pump is bigger than a screen one, located below the screen pump/s on the bottle. Mine freed off by giving a few taps with the thick end of a screwdriver.
