Headlight washer check valves

My new Saab has been dumping it's screenwash, and it would appear the t-piece check valve is no longer a T (it's more of an L with a hole where the second pipe should be!).

I've ordered a replacement but I've just noticed it says windscreen rather than headlight. Have I ordered wrong or will it be OK? Are headlight washer check valves the same as windscreen ones?

Head lamp wash tubing is usually bigger bore than screen washers.

P00p, yes it is. Thinking about it the headlight wash tube is about 10mm bore, far bigger than the aquarium-like tubing for screen wash.

Thanks BT, hopefully I can cancel the order before it gets shipped.
