Description
Headlight washer nozzle bracket for Citroën C5 I and C8, Peugeot 307, 607, 807
This replacement headlight washer nozzle bracket is designed to restore correct positioning and secure mounting of the washer nozzle on compatible Citroën and Peugeot models. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics, the bracket ensures reliable delivery of washer fluid to the headlight lens and keeps the nozzle aligned for effective cleaning. It is a direct-fit part for the listed models and often sought by part number, which simplifies identification and speeds up repair jobs.
Function And Benefits
The bracket secures the washer nozzle to the headlight assembly and provides a sealed connection to the washer fluid hose. A correctly mounted bracket prevents nozzle misalignment, vibration noise and fluid leakage, ensuring even spray pattern and consistent headlight cleaning. Replacing a damaged bracket restores proper nozzle operation and prevents water ingress or rubbing against the headlamp housing.
Compatible Models

How The Part Is Replaced
- Access: Depending on the vehicle, access may be gained by partially removing the front bumper trim or by opening the bonnet and removing the headlamp unit. Follow the vehicle-specific removal sequence.
- Disconnect: Carefully detach the washer fluid hose from the nozzle—expect some fluid spillage—and unclip the retaining fasteners securing the bracket to the headlamp or bumper subframe.
- Remove: Release any plastic clips or screws and remove the old bracket. Inspect surrounding hoses, seals and retaining clips for wear.
- Install: Fit the new bracket into position, secure with the original clips or new fasteners if required, reconnect the washer hose and test for leaks.
- Test: Cycle the headlight washers to confirm correct spray direction, flow and secure mounting. Adjust nozzle aim if necessary.
Installation Recommendations
- Use Proper Tools: Plastic trim tools help remove clips and bumper trim without damage. Small pliers and a pick are useful for hose removal.
- Replace Damaged Clips: Always replace broken retaining clips and worn seals to ensure a secure fit and prevent rattles or leaks.
- Check Washer Hose: Inspect the hose for cracks, kinks or blockages and replace if brittle or damaged to avoid future failure.
- Protect From Freezing: In cold climates, ensure the washer fluid is rated for low temperatures to reduce the risk of frozen components that can crack the bracket or nozzle.
- Perform Final Check: After installation, operate the washer system and visually confirm the nozzle spray pattern and that there is no leakage at the hose connection.
Why The Part Most Commonly Fails
- Impact Damage: Minor collisions and bumper impacts often break plastic brackets or shear off mounting tabs.
- Material Degradation: Long-term exposure to heat, UV and road chemicals makes plastic brittle and prone to cracking.
- Freezing And Ice: Frozen washer fluid or ice buildup can stress the nozzle and bracket, causing fractures.
- Clogged Nozzle Pressure: Severe blockages can create pressure spikes that damage the nozzle mounting or hose connections.
