At this point, I would just replace them. Then they should be good for a long time.

You just missed a recent sale that ended March 17th by Bell (AZ), Treasure Coast (FL) and Prestige (NJ) Lexus online Parts Depts.

They usually have sales around holidays and seasonal events but you can always call them to find out when next sales.

You can also call to confirm you have the right part number.

With Free Shipping and No Sales Tax for out-of-state customers it’s a bonus for us as our local sales tax is over 10%.

Depending on where you live I would order from the one that’s nearest.

My go-to is usually Bell but I have ordered bigger ticket items from Treasure Coast because I saved a few bucks more and it was worth it.

Here are the links to the black one.


WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLE (Black)

Part Number: 8538124031C0

Thanks for the link....but black nozzles on a white car doesn't look very good, so they'll have to be painted. that will be costly.
i found some previously used nozzles on ebay, but they're the wrong color. i guess that's price we have to pay for running an old car!

I didn’t know what color SC you had only that it was a 2006.

What about the beige one — I listed the PN 85381-24031-A0 above ?

The beige would be much closer to black and still available at links below:

https://parts.treasurecoastlexus.com...8124020E1.html

https://parts.belllexusnorthscottsda...8124020E1.html

https://parts.prestigelexus.com/p/63...8124020E1.html


HEY — GUESS WHAT?!

According to the list on this link

https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dl...460693-6460693


Your PN would be 85381-24031-A0 for “White Pearl” which IS your White Gold Crystal, Color Code 065

I found these on eBay — https://ebay.us/m/LWtt1N


Also, just FYI — in case you ever need to use touch up paint — I was able to order my Color Code touch up paint from a local Toyota dealership. It took a few weeks to get the OEM paint because they order from the East Coast and not locally. It was also in their system under a “different paint color name” but WAS the same color code. I was so happy as my color is rarer to find anything for — I haven’t used it yet, but plan to touch up some hood rock chips in the spring once ours is out of hibernation.
