Suspected cause
I don't even think those chrome pieces are noticeable, painting is probably the best route.
Leading evidence: 'best route' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'best route' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run headlight washers at high speed and problem will be' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

I'm not sure if you could still run HIDs in these housings, but maybe...

I wonder if there is any chance the spots for parking assist have the same size so that you could use the covers of those.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I really hate the chrome headlight washer, is there a solution to get rid of them...nicely ?
I was thinking about headlight cover, but they all have the damned washer hole in them..
May be I'll paint them silver, at least it will be less annoying than chrome.
If anyone did something about this, please post your solution or picture
I'm sure there are a lot of bumper plugs of varied types out there. I'm sure the flusher the more suited it would be. I wonder if there is any chance the spots for parking assist have the same size so that you could use the covers of those.
Could you buy a set of headlights from a non-HID car that doesn't have the washers? I'm not sure if you could still run HIDs in these housings, but maybe...
That suggests that the covers can just be pulled off? Do you know whether they can be removed without damage such that you can put them back on?
I have a black car and kind of want to try to tint treatment on the headlight surround, but the washer covers are a problem.
IIRC they replaced the entire unit as just the cover doesn't get sold individually. With that said, I think the piece is removable (the problem is that they only sell the trim piece attached to the nozzle).
Just don't hold me to that
I'll post a pic of what I am talking about. (item 14)
it is nice to help.... I have found the reward to be above anything I could have guessed....
I think its part of the P-car world I didnt understand before I became a part of it. I thought "these people" were out of reach to the "common person" but found reality to be quite the opposite! - Now I return the love and its amazing how it grows a friendship.... today a guy I let drive my 86' is buying his own 86' and I can assure you I never thought I would let a total stranger drive "my prescious" but the flip side is I have a great new friend who let me drive his car and we are planning a GTG for food and wine in celebration of the new car... just a great feeling !!
Totally agree. I didn't know how to do ANYTHING on a car before I bought my first p-car. I didn't even know how to do oil. Now? Nothing short of the major stuff I can't do. I leave the biggest stuff for the race shop.
I agree with leaving the big stuff for the shop... not because I cant... but because they can. It makes sense and I like to feed them some work for all they have done for me as well...
