Default Installing washer nozzles

I bought some painted washer nozzles for the car and was looking around for any install tips. I did the ones on my 997 but I had the bumper off at the time.
Is the 991 basically the same?
Any links to a DIY?
I havent looked but do the headlights come out the same way?

Thanks for any help
Ryun

Not sure on the details, but on suncoast Web site it says the bumper needs to be removed.

^correct

Pull off old ones. They probably break coming off. New ones pop on with proper alignment and pressure from your palm. Bumper stays.

If you are replacing just the nozzle covers -- NO you don't have to pull the bumper cover off! You would only have to do that if you are removing the entire nozzle assembly, pump, etc.

Here is a DIY I posted just recently. http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...ml#post4379479

Hey Ryun,
Follow the link that tony put up that Lexvan did. I did mine but my dealer did it for me for nothing when I stopped by. He said it was easy and they just pop in. Bumper stays on. It DOES spray washer fluid all over everything so be ready to wash the car. Wish I could help more. It looks like vice grips are used to hold washers while you change them. Good luck.
