Hello all,
I have a problem with my windshield wiper fluid system. In the nubs on the hood, I see two nozzles, but only one of them work on each of the nubs. I didn’t want to go poking at it with a knife without researching, but I couldn’t find anything about just those two bits not working. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

I replaced mine with a set of three-nozzle units for a Lexus LS430 (they do come in several colors-- having a black SC made this easy for me). They are a direct parts bin replacement and offer even more nozzle coverage.

Sometimes these nozzles get clogged up over time. Usually people suggest cleaning the ends out with a needle point with care.

Oh, awesome. i'll look into that, thank you

I've cleaned them out with a toothpick before to middling results, then over time as I use them they unclog themselves and get back to normal. If you carefully clean them out with a needle or similar, you should be able to unclog it at least a bit.

I wasn't aware of that upgrade. Does the year matter? There seems to be a changeover in '02 or '03...

I thought about this but rather stick with the painted nozzles because they look better. I was wanting to upgrade to the fanning spray rather than the jets because they work better.

Anyone find a solution to fanning out the washer fluid?

I despise the factory SC 2 stream nozzles. Also hate the 3 stream pre facelift LS430 ones. Get a set of the ES330 misting types. Part #85381-33060. You can probably get a color close enough to match your current one.

Do these fit a 93 SC400 for sure? I'm thinking of ordering them so I hope the BEIGE ME (metallic?) colour matches close enough!

The 2 stream part number for my 1998 400 is 85381-30060. The part number for a 1993 is 85385-30040. Dunno if it'll work, but probably will?
85381-33060-E0 for a ES330 is what you want, yeah.

thanks TXMeatball, I ordered a pair and going to make them fit on if they don't already snap in place as is.

@TXMeatball thanks for the tip bro! Colour matched almost exactly and sprayers clip in no problems! The spray is a little low but still better than jets!
