Default headlight washer

Hi all. New to the Porsche world; just got a 991.2 TTS cab. Funny thing, when I build my car on the Porsche site, it is shown with headlight washer nozzles. My actual car doesn't have them and from my google-fu it looks like most (all?) 2019s don't but 2018s do. Anyone know the reason? Thanks!

I was looking at an '18 and a '19 at the dealship last week and pointed out that difference and the sales guy didn't know. Then we noticed that all the 19's we came across didn't have them.

It's a shame because I was looking forward to paying $810 to have them covered in leather

Welcome to rennlist. You're gonna fit right in.

Yeah, my 2019 doesn't have headlight washers, but my 2017 did. I don't miss them.

The other issue is when does a 911 ever get dirty enough to need headlight washers. You probably missed it on the configurator, but Porsche is now charging $1010.00 extra to add them + $810.00 to have them leather covered.

Great comments. Nipples are always missed, especially if covered in leather!
