Default What Do You Call This Part? Silver Headlight Thingy

Guys, Driving last night in my 2002 996. Heard an odd sound like something falling off the car. This morning I noticed that the oblong silver "thingy" on my driver's side Xeon headlights had fallen off.

Anyone know a) what this is called b) what it does -- and most importantly, where the heck I can find one!

Looked at some parts catalogs/lists and I can't find anything listed.

Thanks for any help!

You are missing a silver headlight thingy...I think it's the headlight washer?

Sounds like the headlight washer cover. They are cheap and easy to change. Your dealer should have one in stock, or you can order one from Sunset Imports, Suncoast Porsche, Pelican Parts, etc.

Take the other one off so it matches. Then no one will notice.
