i hear you. the four streams are just a pain and slop fluid around rather than giving a nice even coating.

my wifes bmw has a nice wide fan spray, where we have four streams.

in Oregon they have started spraying the roads with magnesium sulfate and it is so sticky that I am constantly cursing my washers. I had the thought of replacing the nozzles just this past weekend coming home from the mountain.

Funny I think the exact opposite. So much better than my post Chrysler van.

Gents,
TOYOTA 85381-0K010 for Toyota Fortuner 06 can replace this items. And it will have 2 nice flap sprays instead 4 streams
Also you can try 83381-34030 for toyota FJ cruiser

Question

Strange. My '04 has six streams (3 per nozzle) and not four...

Cheers,
Kermee

Maybe you have different one. Although the point is to have not streams but smooth splash like on photo as far I understand
What I have is like in the picture below

Same here. My wifes BMW has a nice spread out fan type stream. These GX jet stream nozzles don't work very well.

Has anyone tried on of the nozzles below?
