Parts:
Fog Light Washer Jet – 61 67 1 378 616
O-Ring – 64 50 8 390 601

Wait until it is above freezing to attempt this job. There are some small plastic pieces in the washer system in the bumper that may become brittle in the cold and break.

Remove fog light: Pull off trim next to fog light. Pull on the side of the trim nearest the fog light to remove it. Remove top exposed Philips head screw (the bottom one adjusts fog light aim) and remove fog light.

Remove fog light mount bracket: This is attached on one side with two screws that face the car and a plastic ball joint on the other. Remove two screws and pull out ball joint.

You should be able to touch the jet and its mounting nut through the fog light hole. The jet is attached to the bumper with a 19mm hex plastic nut. Before loosening the nut, remove the “L” shaped fitting from the washer jet by pulling it straight up. It snaps on the washer jet fitting so you may need a little leverage to pop it off. All that’s left is to loosen the plastic nut and the washer nozzle will drop out. This is the hardest part of the whole job. First try to get a 19mm crescent wrench on the nut. If this doesn’t fit or the nut is in the wrong orientation, I used a small pair of vise grips. You only need to loosen it a little before you will be able to turn the nut with your fingers. Installation is the reverse of removal.

One risk with the job is that you may end up with a slow washer fluid leak (as I did). I am hoping it is slow enough that it may cure itself. The passenger side is harder than the driver’s side because there is less room with all the washer fluid lines in the bumper in that area.

Good luck,
