Default Washer fluid nozzle defective 1995 ls 400

The washer fluid nozzle on the driver's side of the windshield only projects fluid from 1 of its 3 holes while the passenger side projects fluid form 2 of the three holes. Winter is fast approaching and I feel I should look into repairing them or getting new ones. Anyone ever experience this? How much was it to repair? Thanks!

Have you tried cleaning the nozzles with a straight pin? I've had to clean washer nozzles a number of times on many cars over the years.

Default defective nozzles

You mean just insert the pin into the holes?

yep.

if you want more, you can actually replace the nozzles as a whole with ones from ANY lexus model (pre 06 i believe...). they will fit into the holes i have been told.

LS430 ones are a good choice. be sure to get them painted.

Worked like a charm! Thanks Kansas and Pure Drifter. Wonder why I didn't think of that-too obvious maybe?
Windshield will be much clearer for the winter now.
