Default Headlamp Washer Jet and Cover - Mission Impossible?

I have been hunting high and low for the following parts to no avail. Does anyone have suggestions on where I might find them? Were these headlamp washers fitted on any other Jags? Failing that does anyone have experience fabricating RH Jet cover from the LH Jet Cover? Is there a significant difference?

Curiously, I am able to find the left hand cover in various places but nobody has anything for the right side. It was the same when I was looking for a headlight, weird?

Headlamp Jet RH LHD7052AA
Headlamp Jet LH LHC7053AA
Jet Cover RH LHC7054AA
Jet Cover LH LHC7055AA (This I can find)

Good luck on the washer jets. I've searched the globe online for the last 3 years and no luck. I thought about having mine 3D scanned and then made on a 3D printer... not sure it's possible but I'm getting desperate.

These were fitted by Jaguar in the Ford era. I am pretty sure the exact same fitment was used on Range Rovers, Discoveries, and also some Fords. Worth a search, I think.

I've been on the same crusade by the grace of God I found one from a guy piecing one out in NC, however, the advice I was given in my quest from someone was to buy the replacement covers and remove the washer spray system entirely, (those parts are still available) and since most of us don't drive these cars in lousy weather, they're really not necessary, and you end up with a clean finish. Just a suggestion.

I'd have to look for the contact info again but I did find a dealer in France last year that said he had 5 right side washer jets but he wouldn't take a credit card. He was very rude and never replied back to any of my emails.

Would you happen to have the part numbers or proper names for those covers?

Thanks

Thanks, I'm afraid I misunderstood your message, I thought you were referring to some sort of blank chrome fitting that would just cover the hole.

I managed to get the two covers from jagbits in the US. I am still searching for the jets but will likely take windcaper 's advice and remove the system entirely or at least disable it until the jets turn up. I too have thought abut 3d printing but don't even have a source jet to start from.

Way to go on the jet cover. Lost mine on the potholes of Indiana Rte. 65 today and ordered it tonight. Thanks from Hartland, Wisconsin, home of the NFL Houston Texan's JJ Watt.

I'm pulling my 2 jets off as the plastic was getting brittle. Looking to cover the holes up. Not sure how to do this. Any ideas?
i think one jet was replaced as one is heated, and one not. Both covers have been painted body colour. The rubber gasket is decomposing.
Would like to have them for originality, but these would need some remanufacturing.
