Default Aftermarket pump for headlamp washer pump and motor?
Couldnt find anything other than OEM for my 2000ls400 headlampwasher motor. Tested it and it is dead.
Cheapest i found is 70 bucks for OEM. I hardly ever use it, do dont want to go oem ($) on it.
Any replacement direct fit suggestions?

well if it were me I would pull the pump out get the part number and cross reference it with other manufactures. Then Id goto an autoparts store and try to find a similar pump. Macgyver it if you dont use it that much. Is it something worth fixing? is it really needed?

I never use mine, it's just a great way to cover the car with soap spots and never seems to clean anything off unless it's directly in the path of the sprayer

As long as you don't blow the welds on your intake, and stay away from Johnny Trahn and his boys, you'll be fine!
