Boring question - Headlight Washer tubes

Anyone know how I can find out the tube diameter? Just picked up a car and the hoses have been chopped and blocked off, tested the pump and its spraying fine so just need to replace the pipes but I'm having a bugger finding out the tube diameter!

As no one has answered I am going to try and help if I can.
The o/d (outside diameter) of the tube isn’t particularly important as long as it doesn’t go through any tight gaps. You need to concentrate on the I/d (inside diameter)
If possible try to measure them (a caliper gauge would be best)
If not try a standard tape measure on the end. You can then go on eBay and get something suitable, doesn’t need to be anything special as it’s only carrying soapy water. It’s probably a bit of a prehistoric method but I don’t have them on mine so can’t give you an accurate answer.
The tubing itself is widely available (just Google rubber tubing) and there’s a good selection on eBay / Amazon etc and it’s pretty cheap so allows for a bit of trial and error.
Hope this helps
