Was changing my driver side headlight and noticed fluid started pouring out. What is this little thing that broke off the washer pump? Part number? I need to replace both pump and this little thing.

I had the same issue. You're not going to like it...
That hose runs from the pump to the hood and then to the sprayers. It has a heater wire inside it so you can't repair it with replacement sections or barbs. It's also not available anymore as a replacement. I put it somewhat into the right position on a new pump and then loaded it up with 2-part epoxy. I'm not even sure mine works anymore. I have a black car so I don't want to use it. Water spots suck.

Good find! That's about 1/3 of the OEM price if those were still around. Post up on how it works and installs. Mine is still functioning but I may want to replace my epoxy glob repair.

Finally got this done, the hose I got from eBay seems to be a smidge longer, maybe about 1.5” longer. I had my headlight out so this was far more easier than trying to finagle from the top between the washer reservoir. I changed out the pump, snapped on the heated element hose and started feeding the hose on the driver side. There is a rubber grommet u gotta separate that the hose and harness passes through. After that it’s to remove the underside black plastic hood trimmings that are held by tabs and a couple small screws. The trim drops and u take out the old hose and snap the new ones in. Reassembly is reverse. Didn’t take pictures unfortunately but it was maybe a half hour job. Hardest part was figuring how to remove the underside hood trim. All works as it should!
