Headlight Washer Cap Springs

So … its another headlight washer question from me again.

Does anyone know if its possible to buy the springs that attach to the headlight washer caps separately? One of mine is bent and stretched a little to much for comfort.

I called my local dealer and her reckoned you cold only buy them with the washer caps, (£34) which would then have to be painted!

The cap, spring and clip come as one unit. I replaced one of mine bought from Ebay for £29.95 painted.

Not really sure mate as the springs aren't visible much on the new one as they're compressed. I'd lever the old cover up with something plastic so you don't scratch the paint and try to squash the spring with a set of long nose pliers.

the caps and springs are already off and sitting in the house as I was worried about loosing them. One spring just looks all stretched and out of shape though!
