I give full credit to the Aussies for this idea. I only found the US part number and confirmed they work great (wife approved!)

Since I didn't take pics of my install the ones below are borrowed from Pradopoint, but are pretty accurate.

Basically you swap out our awful washer nozzles with the 2005-2011 Tacoma nozzles (aka the Hilux in other countries).

2005 US Tacoma Washer Nozzle Part Number: 85381-04040 (you need 2 of them - there is no left/right)
$35 shipped for a pair: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291088854227

Comparison
Our stock ones look similar to the one on the left (except I think there are 3 jets) and the Tacoma looks like the one on the right:


Left: similar to stock, Right: Tacoma



It takes 5 minutes to swap them out by sticking a ziptie under it from the front, pulling up, and then sticking the ziptie in from the back and pulling the nozzle out. Then you just remove the tube from the stock nozzle (be sure to hold onto it, mine wanted to pull back in), stick the new nozzle onto the tube and click it back into the hood.

My GX has two jets per nozzle, but yeah it sucks. I love the soft spray in my 2007 Camry. Covers almost the entire windshield.

I have the same fan spray in my wife's former Corolla...

I may try this, not sure. My GX has the 3 nozzles per assembly, they work pretty awesome at speed, but in town, they shoot a bit low.

Thanks for the post! Funny, I was just looking at my weak nozzles this weekend and sadly comparing them to my other cars.... and thought to myself there has to be a better solution. And now there is! This mod is on my list.

I was wrong, the GX does gave three jets per nozzle. But still I think I'll be doing this mod as well. Thanks for the post, OP!

FYI If you guys going to order these from eBay buy from the seller from Thailand it's half the price!, free shipping too!,

The guys on Pradopoint are saying the Thailand ones are knockoffs and are not as good. See the last couple pages in the Pradopoint thread:

Also, Australia and Thailand are right hand drive cars so the wipers are opposite of ours. I assume that means the nozzles aim differently as well.

the little mods people find, awesome idea!

Mods! Starting to sound like my old jeep forums!

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?

Any of your local parts places should have a Dorman "Help" section. They have a replacement washer nozzle kit for about $22.00 that the spray head is adjustable. http://www.dormanproducts.com/p-1159...origin=keyword

I have not personally tried this yet on my GX (worked great on my maxima) but I was going to give it a try this weekend.
