Default Wiper spray jets upgrade

I was wondering if I can replace the ones on my 96 ES300 with the one from a 2001 to 2007 ES300 they have a much better spraying pattern and coverage? They go for $11 at the lexus dealer for those years what do you guys think?

You should be able to do the replacement with no problem whatsoever. Do a search on the forums and you should come across a few threads on this very subject. I believe the 4th gen have the better spray nozzles.

I upgraded mine to ones from a 2003 ES. The '03 nozzles spray in a fan-like fashion and provide better coverage than the triple-jet stream from the '01 nozzles.

How easy was it to do?

^ Very easy Use a credit (or some plastic) card with a thin piece of cloth wedged underneath to unclip the nozzle on each side. Then pull the nozzle above and out of the hood and pull off the washer fluid hose from the nozzle. Swap out the old one for the new one and install back. Shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes to do both nozzles.
