For the headlight washers, wonder if the prior owner removed the nozzles (and replaced the corner trim with the base type) due to breakage. It's possible.

I am going to do that to my '04. Those washers are very flimsy. I used them once and the plastic pieces flew out of the housing with the washer fluid! I'm thinking of replacing the entire headlight units, but if I can find that piece on its own without the washers on it, I'd like to replace just that. Its such a useless feature, even if it did work properly. I'm not taking my car off-roading or driving in dirt/mud lol.

You can use the nozzels off a bmw to do an easy repair. You have to cut the nozzel out of the housing then super glue it into the boxster nozzel hole. No need to remove bumber, cost like $15 for the nozzel.

Yeah, I know about the BMW part. I've thought of replacing them, but to be honest, I just want them gone. They're just an eye sore for me.
