Post DIY for Headlight Washer Jet???

Much to my chagrin, a truck stopped short in front of me this weekend and I accidentally tapped his rear bumper. All I saw was a black plastic piece pop up in the air. When I pulled over to check it out, the headlight washer jet completely broke off and a small ding was left...

Is there a DIY for replacing the headlight washer jet? It looks like just connecting the washer jet to the hose, and then snap into place. Best access is probably from behind the fog light assembly.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Linh

This is a straight forward DIY.

A few observations:
Don't let go of the tube when you
pull off the black nozzle. If it
pulls back into the hole, it can
be a b*h to get hold of again.

The snaps that hold the nozzle in
place are flimsy and easy to break.
Use care when snapping them into place.

Pay attention to the orientation. Its been
awhile since I replaced mine, but I seem
to recall that this in one case where
the odd/even part number, left/right rule does not apply.
