Default Headlight Washer Nozzles for 06 GS430

Hi all,

I recently purchased OEM 85208-30031 & 85207-30031, left and right headlight washer nozzle caps to replace the ones that fell off. I brought the car in today to my mechanic who said these don't fit a GS430, only a GS350+ (he actually has an 08 GS350 and it fit his vehicle perfectly). Does anyone know the correct/size model number for the replacement left and right washer caps for an 06 GS430 as every place I look, it appears the GS300/430/350+ all use the same washer caps.

Thanks in advance!

From that part number it shows it fits your car, but why did you buy the whole sprayer system if all you needed was the chrome caps. They sell just the caps on ebay.

That seller tricked you! First lexus doesnt sell just the washer covers, they sell the pump as a whole unit that includes the chrome tips. That part is not oem! Because both of those parts numbers combined they retail for over $500.00

Whats not fitting the shape of it? Or the black inside clip

Damn! The shape of the actual cover. I brought it to an ex Lexus Master tech to look at and that's what he told me. I will just live with not having it, no way am I buying the entire assembly.

I never use this feature, but when I do, it never works lol. Maybe the pump is broken or something on mine.

Ya, that seller has a history of trying to pass off aftermarket as oem. If you read his history many have complained.

If only the tip is broken why not buy another chrome trim from another ebay seller. Try your luck as those things are pretty cheap. 8-$9 bucks a set shipped

I believe the plastic piece inside is still functional. I just purchased the vehicle a few weeks ago and it didn't come with either chrome piece. All the cheap replacements I have seen have the same part number as the ones I purchased. I already contacted seller who asked if I wanted to keep the item and he refund half---haha no thanks! I did think it was odd that the outside looked OEMish with "Made in Japan,"/Toyota however the chrome pieces said "China" on the back, just like non-OEM ones.

Just got mine off of eBay and it works perfectly. Rather expensive $12 for probably a $0.50 piece. Pretty easy to put on grab some needle-nose pliers pull it out just have to be careful to make sure you put the nozzle in correctly and it should just snap right on 5 minutes max.
