Does anyone have any idea on how to replace the headlight washer caps? I have 2 brand new ones to fit but i'm really struggling to find a suitable method of getting them on!
Any help would be great, cheers!

I'm pretty sure the front bumper needs to come off mate.

Hmm? but if the bumper is off, how do you get the bumper back on with the caps still on, seen as they sit on the outside of the bumper?

did you get anywhere with this? as I'll be attempting to fit my TTE bumper in the next few weeks, and I'm still undecided as to whether or not I bother re-fitting the headlight washers.

The caps are connected to the washer actuators (which are the bits on the inside of the bumper) by a couple of screws on the inside of the bumper.
Take the bumper off and disconnect the washer lines to get easy access to them. This will drain your washer bottle out onto the ground pretty sharpish, so mind your feet don't get too wet, or use a bucket to catch it and refill after you get the new caps on.
With the TTE bumper, there are guidelines (sort of) on the inside of the bumper that you have to cut out. Ormi fitted my bumper for me, and used a dremel to cut out the washer apertures.
Hope that helps.

that pretty much explains all i needed to know.

so the washers can only be fitted/removed/adjusted with the bumper off.
i dont suppose you happen to know how the washers are mounted to the back of the bumper? clips? screws?

couple of screws hold the caps onto the washer bracket on the inside of the bumper
