I think the HL washers flow enough to actually try to "wash" the lights, whereas the WS washers more "wet" the windshield and the wipers "clean" it. Hence the HL washer flows considerably more and at a higher pressure. As a point of reference, take a look at the sizes of the pumps and reservoirs. The HL is bigger in both cases.
