Disable headlight washers?

I am considering ordering an X5 with the cold weather package. I like the idea of rear heated seats and the ski bag, but I hate the headlight washers on my E46.

Is there anyway to easily disable them on the X5?

They only work when you have the lights on, so just turn off the lights via the switch then use clean the windshield.

Yup, turn off the lights, then use the washer.
