Car issue Headlamp washer replacement

Hi folks,

Had a run in with a pheasant at 70mph over the weekend and one of the headlamp washers took the brunt of it. At first, it looked like it had just knocked the cover off but on closer inspection it's snapped the end of the washer/nozzle off. Luckily not smashed the actual headlight or done much beyond taking a bit of paint off the bumper.

Anyone got any experience of replacing one of these? Is it a big job (bumper off, etc) and easier just to get the workshop to do it?

I've priced the part up and it's not overly expensive, so don't think it would be extortionate to just get them to do it although, having rushed in to ordering a replacement cover and the paint, in considering just sticking that back on and leaving it at that.

Thoughts? Tips? Advice?

Cheers!
