But the washer is not on the hood, it is under the hood on the 460.

That would be a problem.. :-) Thanks!

Vehicle was far away from me to check and I made a quick assumption.

That style that mounts on top might be a consideration for fog light washers once I finish this fog light mod. Then it would be an easy tie in to the tank and add a pump, relay and nozzle set. I was thinking about another set of popups but might try this style first.

Speaking of washers, I notice that my GX didn't come with the washer jar filter. I also don't see any listed for the GX. Do any of you have them? They are great since you don't even open the fluid bottle at the foil, the filter does it automatically. If there isn't one for the GX I think I'll try one from an ES or LS.

Interesting...never thought about tying in stock headlight washers lines to clean the fog lights as well.

The best personal use case for headlight washers I found for these was in a blizzard/ice storm last year as the headlights began to ice over. I kept using the headlight washers and it helped to melt off the ice that was accumulating on headlights.

i don’t think there is one, Have a part number? I assume a quick splice to install?

They just sit on the ledge inside the tube. They pierce the foil when you put the refill bottle on. When the low fluid alert comes on, you can put in an entire bottle. The sharp point opens it, and the screen prevents foil pieces from jamming the pump.

You don't even have to hold the bottle while it empties. In my opinion its ridiculous that the GX doesn't have this. My ES and LS both had them, and I never thought to look for it when I bought my GX.
