Headlight Washer Nozzle Tip
Does anyone know where to find these, or if they can be gotten separately? My '03 986 is missing one of the nozzle tips (2 per side should be present). It almost seems like they just click in. Right now, when I operate the headlight washers, the side with the missing nozzle tip spews copious amounts of fluid into the air (which is actually rather cool, but not the effect I'm looking for necessarily). It's just the tips I'm looking for, so I don't have to replace the whole assembly. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I was in your situation when I bought my car.
I could not find the tip only and you have to buy the whole sprayer assembly which cost around $175 per side (which I think is a scam, there is no way I will pay that price for just a plastic sprayer assembly). They don't sell the tip head by itself. I found mine on ebay (used from 996 for $30). I was betting that 996 sprayer will fit and turned out it fits perfectly. I was too lazy to replace the whole sprayer unit so I just pried the head off the new used sprayer assembly and put it into my old sprayer. I was looking for one that came out of a boxster but there are not many boxsters with litronic headlamp out there. You have a better chance getting one if you search under 911 (996) headlamp nozzle. |

Same situation and have been researching. PET shows only the full unit, no parts. It is a 996 number so parts are identical between vehicles. Have found the whole unit new for ~$120. Next step is junkyards as I am cheap. Fellow club member has same issue right now. Seems to be a pretty common problem.

Thanks for the feedback, folks. It seems I shall begin my journey to find the ultimate nozzle tip on the cheap! I wonder if they just fall out or people steal them? What could they possibly need them for? Haha. Yeah, I'm not about to pay north of $100 for a little plastic tip. I'll post any additional stuff I may come across in the search. The nozzle for the 930 looks similar and can be gotten cheap, but I don't think it's a direct fit.
