hi everyone. do we have experience on how to remove the headlight washer nozzle. it actually moves and should be easy but i just do not want to start removing things uneccessarily just to get to it...

What are you trying to do? Paint it?
You might be able to get it to pop up with a software hack.

Note that permanent removal is not a good idea.
The washer heads are needed to keep the Xenons from refracting off of gunk and "dazzling" everyone else on the road (and here I am thinking it was my winning smile...).

you guessed it my good man...paint it!! paint it body color so it does not look like a pimple in an otherwise beautiful face...

You have to remove the front bumper to disconnect it from its housing. I don't believe you can remove the chrome cap from the top.

i doubt that the bumper has to go before access to these washer are made. from the gallery that was posted i am thinking access can be had through the signal lights on the bumper. I think i will remove that tomorrow and see where it leads me too. i would still appreciate however, anybody else's experience sho has gone through the process.

^^^ yeah, that works. just popped the fog light and sure enough you've got two tabs to pinch and the cylinder slides right out of it's mount. simple.

good luck.

slicky rick

great...will check it out later. did you see if there is a hose that needs to be disconnected? or when the thing pops out of the socket the hose is automatically disconnected?

seems that the signal for the 997.1 and 997.2 have different removal procedures.... is this true? anybody actually remove the washer nozzle for a 997.2 ver. thanks

We sell the painted nozzles on a core swap. You DO NOT have to remove the bumper.

Email me anytime. They pop out. You just need to know a few small steps.

I took the car in for a front bra wrap. They remove the top cap only (they claimed). After getting the car back, the headlight washer overspray the front wind shield on the left side only. Right side is okay.

Before I take it back to them to rectify the problem without making it worse, I would like to know how to possibly fix this myself. Dealer gave me a $370 quote, saying they have to remove the front bumper to get access to it.

Thanks for your insight.
Regards,
Bill

I have a slightly different problem related to the headlight washer nozzle ;-)
Mine just flew off when activating the headlight washers

I have ordered a new nozzle head 99762826300 and while it is on its way to me, I am asking myself and you all: How to assemble it? Can it be simply plugged in, or what is the correct way of doing that?

Thanks for your help in advance

Hold the nozzle in its up position. You will see 2 tabs on the chrome cover... push in and walah cover is removed... simple no need to remove anything else.
