You don't need to take them out to restore them. Tape them off, polish or sand around them, good to go.

Hi

I took off the light and used compressed air to raise up the washer.
If you are alone you can put a tie wrap on the air hose handle that you put in the fitting on the side of the lense which give you your 2 hands to work on the small plastic tab to release the washer dome.
Use a small screwdriver to pull the tab.

Here's a link on lights restoration:

There's only one way to find out...I wouldn't want to find out!

So I found out the tubing and nozzle that fits on the headlight housing tray is missing on mine. This is the part that pushes into the headlight when you put the headlight backin and feeds the washer fluid to the headlight housing. Anyone know the part numbers?

Yeah I checked real hard. The link you gave is for the Panamera but I found the one for my car. I need to remeber to look at that dealer site! They have the best diagrams!
