Headlamp Sprayer

I have a 2013 GS & the cover for the right headlamp sprayer is missing (I believe due to an automatic car wash). I visited a Lexus dealership and bought the cover for it but there is no way to attach it. When I asked a service tech, he explained that I would need to buy another headlamp actuator (#85207). The part is quite costly but he also stated to get an OEM replacement if possible. All of this to just attach a cover??!! Does anyone know if this is the only route to take or there an alternative??

I don't have direct experience but lots of folks on the forum have done bumper conversions and can probably speak to the headlamp washer cover.

The fact that they sold you a cover means that there should be a way to install this...if you're not seeing a way to install it, i'm thinking there's a clip or connector on the upper portion of the actuator that was broken/snapped off as a result of the car wash...

Use a plastic trim tool to lift it up(or have someone grab it while it's active) and pull it to the extended position. It's just clipped on.
