Good year from Costco is good and affordable, replace mind after 18 months best thing ever.

PIAA is nice( had it on my Scion ) to have but refills are expensive and the coating wears off too fast

Have not try Bosch so don't know

Rx needed parts, Rockauto was much cheaper than local parts shops. I ordered blades along as they are generally much cheaper there.
I bought Anco frameless blades.
Now after one month drivers size blade ends jump while wiping. I won't buy again and also Anco brand is not sold here.

Frameless Acdelco and Bosch have been good, no complaint.

So you are forced to buy aftermarket wipers now. I suggest Costco, Amazon, or any local auto parts store for wipers.
Today I bought Toyota brand wiper refills for my 2005 SC430 at my local Toyota service center parts department.
Part numbers: 85214-50100 and 85214-24051, $10 each. Lexus and Toyota refill part numbers are the same so I believe they are the same sold by Lexus dealers. They appear to be identical.
