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, Toyota USED to stock replacement inserts for their wipers. They were about $8 each. However, Toyota no longer makes replacement inserts for their wipers. This is across all 3 brands (Toyota, Lexus, and Scion). This is why dealers only sell aftermarket wipers now. Dealers make more money selling aftermarket wipers I guess. So you are forced to buy aftermarket wipers now. I suggest Costco, Amazon, or any local auto parts store for wipers.
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.
