I think all 2019 models no longer have the headlight washer. Mine doesn't and personally I think it looks better without it.

It clearly looks better without it, but how do you clear the headlights in snowy or icy weather? It was never put there for looks....

What? Ice. Snow. That's crazy talk right there.

Does look mucho better without. At the very least, paint to exterior helps to mask them a bit.

No snow for us to worry about in Hawaii.

Assuming nobody has heard of a washer nozzle delete for -2018

Nope, not an option. However I’m sure CX would do it for a small fortune.

2019 GTS still has them FYI. prefer the look without but it’s not hard to get used to.

I don’t have them on my 2012 911s , they only come with dynamic or led lighting! Fun fact and it looks so much better without them

My 2018 T does not have them and it's so much better. I've never understood them. In some climates for the brave souls and a 4S with winter tires, they make sense. For everyone else, why?

My 2019 GTS (Targa obviously) does not have them, and I am very happy. And I clean them just as I clean my windows (duh).

You could have left this part out but you had to let us East Coast people know you live in Paradise.

I agree it looks better without it, especially when I don't drive it in the snow, rain, dusty days, Mondays, family outings, etc...

Florida is not bad either!

It would have been better if they had developed a washer that was flush under the headlight.

To element the washers on my 2017 would have cost me $500. I would have had to drop the package for auto mirrors, heated seats, and PDLS lights and do the two a-la-cart for an extra $500. Didn't want the washers but stuck with them.
