Default Useless headlight washers...

What size is the hole into which the useless (at least in California) headlight washers fit?

Does anyone have a picture to boot?

I would like to order the plugs and have them painted while my new Euro front bumper is being refitted to satisfy my (Porsche picky) attention to detail.

Thanks.

Hey Mr. V. The hole is not perfectly round - it's keyed top and bottom if I recall. I found a 1" plastic bumper plug at the hardware store, sanded, primed, painted and cleared. Then I adhered it with a little silicone. Here's a pic:



Works well on a white car from 10 feet away. Did you check with www.bumperplugs.com?

Old trick, but a good one. I got in lots of trouble with this one in high-school ;-).

Don -

Thanks. Bumperplugs doesn't have a ready-made set, so I'll go your route.
