Default Windshield washer nozzle

Okay, the one on the driver side does not work as it should but passenger side works. I tried to use a needle to poke thru the hole but it didn't help. So i ordered a new pair from sewell. Well after a month of waiting they came back saying it was discontinued and they cannot locate anymore.

I than tried another supplier ordered than a week later the same result.

So i find this hard to believe it was discontinued i imagine it was probably used by many Lexus models and years.

So my question is will a later year nozzle work?

Mine is a 92 thinking maybe a 99 or 2000.

If not than may have to remove mine and see if i can clear out whatever is built up inside it.

you can get one off an LS430 and it should work fine.

is the hose hooked up to it and not clogged? sometimes blowing through them and the nozzles with compressed air will clear them up if you have it available

Thanks PD may go that way.

Its just has a weak stream almost doesn't hit the windshield.

Are they easy to remove? Seems to me all you do is push up on it from below and it should pop out.

Thanks.

iirc there's a couple clips on the inside of the hood, push those in and push up and it should pop right out.

***Update !***

I got in some new nozzles for a 2001 LS funny thing i ordered the silver color but Sewell sent me black. Guess thats all they might have had didn't ask them.

I put them in no issues popping the old ones out but the opening in hood is just bigger than the new nozzle with clips. Meaning they fit but just a tad loose if you slam the hood they can pop out and you have snap them back in place.

Work just fine 3 spray versus 2 on older ones. Might use some small amount of silicone to keep them down.
