Mine were broken so I just removed them and installed the plastic clear corners instead!

Then used JB weld around the "ball" to keep it place.

The body shop I use painted them and did the install.
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.

can the top of the washer nozzles be replaced, or does the whole unit from the end of the supply hose up need to be replaced? IE is the nozzle tip itself available / replaceable?
It does not have a cover and the unit has 2 nozzles. It is black plastic.
Part #: 996-628-333-00-M100 is the whole thing.
the car is a C4 cab, maybe that has a different unit than the one detailed in the post above.
Gretch, the part you listed is the headlight washer nozzle. From the part diagram, it appears to be one piece.

I think it's a different part for the 996.1 with litronics.
I have the same issue - see below - but I never really use the washers so I just l kind of ignore it. But if you do find a source for the nozzles let me know!
Prezackly what happened to me this AM. the nozzle blew out while driving. gonzo.
I don't use them either but happened to push the stalk in rather than pull it out.......
I may just put a plug in the hole. $180 for the complete replacement unit is over kill for something I do not use.
I'm not sure if the washers only came on the c4 for winter driving. I may have just made that up but sounds right.
I never used my washers because I didn't want to dirty my car.
I replaced the broken washer with 2 clear corners from ebay for 60$. They came from Latvia brand new.
I'm not sure if it's just the angle or what, but the headlight covers look great on that car! They look like they fit super flush and they give it a 959 look (at least from this angle...).
Same thing happened to mine four years ago. I bought a used one (99662833300 from DC Automotive for $85.00), took the ball tip off the one i purchased and installed it on the one still in the car. Then used JB weld around the "ball" to keep it place. The base where the ball snaps in place allows the ball to be rotated so it can be aimed appropriately on the lamp, but it cracks in time (new or old) but I decided i did not really need it "rotating" anyway, so once i was done adjusting it appropriately, i glued it in place.
Thanks for the responses guys........
when I bought the car I HATED the headlights, in large part because they were the same shape as what was on the boxter.
I found the headlight covers on the internet, they were cheap enough so I took a chance.
The body shop I use painted them and did the install. They have been on the car for approximately 15 years and they still look great.
Tilfo2000 you were able to buy just the nipple spray nozzle? How much? I just called Suncoast said $147 but the whole assembly. Just need that little nipple on my 2001 cabriolet
I have never seen just the tip for sale, but if you find a used whole assembly from eBay (~$100) you can remove the tip yourself, and have a spare tip.
The nozzles do appear to be the same. How does one go about getting the nozzle out of the socket? They are in there very tight. cannot even swivel the nozzle in the socket on the new part.
Was cheap though, $24 with shipping for something Porsche wants $170.
Just replace both L & R on my 2001 C4 from suncoast porsche. Easy Job. Just remove headlights, one screw each and unclamp hose & reinstall. Remember, they only work when headlights are on/
