Changed a headlight washer in the '01 S

Santa brought me a box of parts from Suncoast so i thought i would put the washer assembly in. Yes , I said assembly, you can't buy a nozzle for an '01 apparently.
A nozzle was missing on the driver side since i bought the car in October.
Annoying.
Head light removal was a breeze ( thank you Germany )
The easiest way to get the old washer out is to cut the old hose , remove the washer head, then take needle nosed vise grips and mangle the quick connect until it finally gives up and lets go. There is a risk of breaking the plastic connector it's attached to if you're not careful. I didn't break anything. If you cut the hose.... you are throwing out, then you can turn the quick connect as your're destroying it.
Once out , snap on the new quick connect, then slide the new head into place. Tighten the nut snug....because you're going to need to adjust it so its sits perfectly in the hole in the headlight. Slide the light in , connect its quick connect, and lift the head light slightly as you slide it in so you don't smash off a brand new nozzle. I didn't.
