Default Best spray nozzle to update to?

I'm going to go buy new windshield wiper fluid nozzles. Are 2003 es300 nozzles still the best upgrade?

Thats the part number for the peril white es300 nozzle. BTW the 2005 es330 has the same part number.

*******.com has all the part numbers for like every toyo/lexus/scion.

So I went to the dealer today and i need to wait for the nozzles. But i did get isx50 wiper blades. They look a lot nicer then our stock blades and are also a bit larger.

compare that to the stock ones


Also ftw mercedes benz has some of the coolest wiper blades, they look like this.


As for price, whatever the dealer charges you, i would say 40-60 bucks.

you can get those new style seamless wiper ones (cuz i have soo many pine needle tree around the house), I got bosch 24" for the driver side only. When I use garden hose the pine leaves just slide off. with the old OEM style it just caught the pine needle and gets everywhere.
24" will wipe wider and you wont see the triangle on middle windshield any more (where the driver and pass wipe overlap) and yet barely hit the top of the windshield (about 3/4 of an inch) yes you'll be fine there
Cost: $20-25 yep. this is the whole blade.

You do want to keep the pass side OEM because (it curve up and curve wrap the windshield) if you change the whole blade pass it will never wipe right.
Yes, i tried trico, bosch, piaa, etc etc for the pass side --> i am perfectionist. only the OEM fit better on the pass side.
Cost: $7 (just the rubber)

Now moving to the sprayer, I have white nozzle off ES330, it fit perfect .. and no you can not adjust the angle of the spray (it worked just fine, it hits the wiper abit).
Cost: about $12-14 I think.
Beam spray type feature: Water mist

If you get from GS, SC430 they fit too, but you need to adjust the spray beam, The angle of the windshield and the width is a bit different than our car ( again i am perfectionist) if I am driving on the highway I dont want all the water spray go over the roof, instead of the windshield.
Cost: bout the same
Beam spray type: 3 point spray.

Now review which ones of the spray do I like? the 3 point spray is sitting a bit high and the Mist spray is slimmer. Do you ever driving on the highway and gets bird poo? I like the Mist sprayer better, because it gets the bird poo no matter where it is. with the 3 pointer (6 sprays) sometimes still miss the !@$!@ bird poo. then it gets worsen by the wiper that automaticaly smear the white sh!@#t on the whole windshield.

Nuf said. Oh the LS .. on newer model its also a mist the older one is dual point spray just like our OEM sprayer
