Default 08' RX350 - Front Windshield Washer Nozzle Replacement Part

My front windshield washer sprayers have been dysfunctional for a while now. The right (passenger) side was the first to poop out, and then the left side followed soon after.The fluid reservoir holds liquid and is not leaking. When I trigger the sprayer from inside the car, I can hear the system "trying" to complete the job, but it only spits out a tiny amount of liquid (not even enough to make it onto the windshield itself). I have tried gently pushing a needle into the sprayer hole to unclog it, but that also had no effect on the issue.

I believe it is time to replace the nozzle and am wondering which replacement part I should order. I have also read about some people replacing the nozzles with alternative models that have a more effective spray pattern/reach. Car is 2008 Rx350 (N. American build)

Can someone please provide website links to specific replacement parts? Either the 1-to-1 replacement piece, or one of the more effective alternative parts?

Thank you in advance!

The nozzle tips might not be your issue. You can check by unplugging the hose to nozzle tip and try to operate your washer sprayer. If nothing comes out, then the issue is somewhere else.

If you're going to replace the sprayers, you might as well get adjustable ones. Here are two options:
