I now have ES330 nozzles (used, ebay) for my 2005 SC430. Fan spray pattern is great and 95% hits windshield. Thanks everyone for advice and experience.
Just did mine today, great improvement, I used the zip tie method someone mentioned to get them out, I literally did both of them in 2 minutes, so easy!!
Did anybody have trouble getting the nozzles out of the tube? Mine seem to be really locked in there. Any tip to getting them to pull out without breaking the tube? Or did others cut the tube?

I just found this thread and doing the same swap.
For stuck tubes, use hairdryer to warm the tubing up, it will soften and should then just pop off.
Today I tested one of these nozzles (Toyota Genuine Parts 85381-04040) on my 2005 SC430 while parked. The spray pattern was great but almost all the spray went over the roof. Perhaps at speed it would be better. I'm sticking with the existing 3-stream nozzles until I can try ones from another model. Suggestions of nozzles proven on SC430?
There is the Honda Pilot nozzles. That's what I have and it's the same spray pattern but adjustable. $18 a piece. 76810-SZA-A01ZA
Odd coincidence. The day two of my TPMS sensors died my front windshield pump stopped pumping. Funny, I thought the no-pump was because of the TPMS issue. I am now laughing at myself. So it took me a few weeks to get replacement Autel tool + sensors and to install them, and after TPMS was all squared away the washer pump still not working. I yank the washer pump from the tank and found it to be seized. Took it apart to find internal corrosion (also found gooey crud inside the fluid tank which needed to be cleaned out, 14.5yr fluid tank that had never been flushed out!). A little brass wire wheel on low speed Dremel to clean things up, a little grease on the ends for lube and to help seal it, out it back together, and it works! I will be ordering a replacement though. To help wash the tank out I literally take garden hose spray nozzle on "jet" and put it right into the tank opening where the pump goes, blasting out the crud, etc.
The tricky parts are in two places. The motor brushes need to be held back using two drill bits (has to be about same size as the holes, put shank side in, etc), and then the shell has two small bend-over tabs that hold the motor end cap in place, so you have to needle nose them straight, install the the end cap, then peen the tabs over with a small screwdriver and hammer tap, etc.
So, if you have never replaced the washer pump (fronts usually go 1st) you should replace it, and wash out the tank really good.
Just wanted to add, I have to replace front washer fluid motor. Went with a Trico unit from sneeze-bay. The Denso units run about +$10-20 more than the Trico items. Figure it's ez to replace if Trico unit goes south.

A few things to note.
I am wondering if the nozzle part # in the original post ls a Left or Right? I notices that the actual spray port in the nozzle if offset to the left.
I did install two, I now I have a better spray pattern. But some notes here.
1) some posted about over-spraying the glass (too high) with these nozzles. Mine hit about mid glass, but duly noted, I replaced the pump with a Trico unit and some said for that unit that the spray pressure appeared to be lower than OEM..... but note again, the same Trico pump fits many vehicles so it was hard to know what vehicle make/model/year they were referring to.
2) I took off the under-hood sound shield. Warning, be sure to cover the whole engine bay with sheet or plastic, popping out those retaining clips will have them go flying. I lost 3 into the engine bay abyss and could only recover 2 of them, I also broke 3 of them. So I need to get some clips to replace the ones I goofed, etc. Doing this allows you to disconnect the hose line making it much easier to deal with the nozzle.
3) As for getting nozzle off hose, just rotate nozzle on hose 360 1-2x (hold hose stationary, etc), then slowly turn and pull it off. It's that simple.
