I noticed the post from two years ago on replacing our SC300 windshield washer nozzles with those from a 2003 ES300. However, the post mentioned that they sprayed way too low.

Has anyone tried any newer nozzles and found them to be better? Thanks.

LS430 nozzles for me

 

i have the fan patterned ones from an RX. i love them.

 

What model years are these and do they spray high enough?

Taken from Intellexual.Net

Updated Washer Nozzles: The factory washer nozzles feature "dual-beam" sprayers. These nozzles are pretty poor at distributing wiper fluid across the windshield, in my opinion. For under $30, you can purchase washer nozzles for newer Lexus models that are more effective at spraying fluid across the windshield.

All Lexus washer nozzles for all Lexus models are interchangeable, therefore I recommend you purchase new nozzles from a 2003 model. Most colors for 2003 models can be matched to older SC colors, but if not, the black nozzles work and look just fine.

The 2003 ES300's washer nozzles are unique in that they feature a "fanning" spray. Because the ES300 does have a more "cab-forward" (borrowing Dodge terminology) design, the washer nozzles will spray slightly lower on the mark when transplanted to the SC. They are still more effective at evenly distributing wiper fluid across the windshield though.

The 2003 GS, RX, LX, IS, and LS washer nozzles all feature triple-beam nozzles. It is unclear at the time if all of these washer nozzles spray at the same height; However, the GS nozzles do spray lower like the ES nozzles, but are still more effective than the stock SC300/400 nozzles.

Installation is cake. Take two business cards and slide them simultaneously under the front and back of each washer nozzle to compress the plastic clips underneath. Once you feel you've compressed the clips enough, pull the nozzle up. It is attached to a plastic hose. Pull it from the hose from the nozzle and insert the new washer nozzle in place.

Washer nozzles are a special order item at most Lexus dealerships and require a one to three week turnaround.

 

I saw that faq on intellexual.net and that's what prompted my question. Was wondering if anyone had tried other ones. More specifically, newer than 2003 ones.

I need to remove and re-install a 2002 ES300 washer nozzle. It seems to have a very tight seal and business card wouldn't slide under the seal. Do you have any other suggestions on how to remove this? I thought about removing the liner that is attached to hood to get to it, but am afraid about tearing the liner.

 

I went one better and used Isuzu truck units that actually fit on the arm itself and it sprays in three positions right in front of the blade , very very effective .

 

What year/model Isuzu truck?

 

Resurecting an old thread! Yeah!

Hey guys, wondering if any of you knew if any of those Lexus model nozzles fit on a 90-92 LS400?

I just bought some 2001 LS430 nozzles but they don't fit on my car! :S

 

Need to remove washer nozzle on 1998 ES300 can any one tell me how to do this?
