Default Gs300 washer nozzles converted to 03+ es300 washer nozzles

I mine as well share my knowledge, I just bought 03+ es300 washer nozzles. Converting from a stream spray to a fan spray since our nozzles are known to be easily clogged. Price I paid were $15 each. Sorry no pics yet

Part #85381-33060-C0. This is for the black color

Is this a direct swap? My drivers side is kinda clogged, been meaning to replace them for a while, might as well upgrade if its not too much work.

Where did you get this from because my nozzle on the passenger side I think may be clogged.

Default washer nozzle

i bought the universal nozzle kit from autozone for 16 bucks. sprays way better than oem nozzles. only took 10 minutes to switch out. comes with a key to adjust the spray direction.

Thanks for the tip, just ordered from Sewell! Total came to about $34 with shipping and CL discount. Finally motivated me to get this taken care of, always been a believer in "if it's broke, upgrade it".

Can we get a quick tutorial on how to do this? Can't seem to find much about it. I suppose I could start poking around on my car but I would rather ask first!
Thanks much.

Don't the nozzles come built in to the cap thingies? The ones that are color matched to your car?

That's my understanding but you're switching out the caps too. They come already painted.

Pretty sure theyre just held into the hood with press clips. Just get at the underside and pop them out, disconnect the lines and install the new ones. At least that's what I recall when I poked around a while back, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok thinking I might be wrong on the install, maybe the op can fill everybody in on the install procedure.
