I don't know where you can get that, but I do know that that is where the little headlight washers pop out from. Hope that helps (probably doesn't but...)

That chrome cover is not available as a seperate piece. It's part of the washer nozzle assy which is $255.00 list price.

Is it 255 per washer assemble or a set of two?.........well I guess it's better to be part of the washer than part of the headlight.....otherwise it would cost much more. Thanks, guys

I have the same problem!

A car backed up into my bumper and ive been trying to get the piece for 2 weeks now...They wanted to charge me around $350 for one piece because they said it has to come with the actuator. They wanted over $500 with installation, thats just crazy. Im going to see if i can get it another way ill msg you if i find something other then buying it from the dealer.

The dealership also said that the reason the install costs so much is because you have to remove the front bumper to install the actuator...just a head up.

It is true but... pulling the bumper skin is straight forward and requires no 'specialized' tools - other than a philips bit, torx bit (maybe 2) and 10mm socket/nutdriver IIRC. The headlight assembly is held on w/ 3 bolts (4 really but one is removed when pulling skin). I had to take mine off this summer to realign passenger light housing after my wife...uh...er... "bumped" a deer.

Anyhow, took about 20min to remove/install skin. Here's a post where I attached the instructions and described the process (along w/ some deviations from repair manual) Link Here

At least you can save yourself some $ on the install
