Default Headlight Cleaner Cover - Grrrrr

Was out driving tonight, hit the button to clean the headlamps and the cover must have popped off.

Best place for price to order?

Was searching on Pelican but could not find it.

Assume it is easy to pop back on? Is there a way to keep the arms extended so that I can pop back on? Grey piece with tabs is still on the arm but looked different compared to the other side. Hard to examine with detail when they are going up and down.

Yep. That is exactly what I need. Thanks.

I figured my problem. I was searching Sunset Porsche instead of Suncoast Porsche.

Any idea on installation?

Have someone press the wiper lever and grab it when it's fully up, or grab it by the end now that its open with your hand or a tool and pull it up. It won't brake don't worry.
install the cover by sliding in the one side clip and then the other.

It looks like the cover comes with the whole jet. Should I replace the jet as well or is that much more difficult?

I think replacing the cover and the jet is about a 30 second operation.

Does the jet just pop off?

I am going to order the parts when I get back to the house.

You don't need to replace the jet! The question is can you find just the cups or they sell them together?

I don't think they sell just the chrome (plastic) cap separately.
