Washe Nozzle Upgrade
Anyone know a decent place where I can buy some washer nozzle. I like the RX330 style like a windex bottle. Im looking for 2 in black color. If anyone has any laying around that would be dope. Let me know.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Updated Washer Nozzles: The factory washer nozzles feature "dual-beam" sprayers. These nozzles are pretty poor at distributing wiper fluid across the windshield, in my opinion. For under $30, you can purchase washer nozzles for newer Lexus models that are more effective at spraying fluid across the windshield.
All Lexus washer nozzles for all Lexus models are interchangeable, therefore I recommend you purchase new nozzles from a 2003 model. Most colors for 2003 models can be matched to older SC colors, but if not, the black nozzles work and look just fine.
The 2003 ES300's washer nozzles are unique in that they feature a "fanning" spray. Because the ES300 does have a more "cab-forward" (borrowing Dodge terminology) design, the washer nozzles will spray slightly lower on the mark when transplanted to the SC. They are still more effective at evenly distributing wiper fluid across the windshield though.
The 2003 GS, RX, LX, IS, and LS washer nozzles all feature triple-beam nozzles. It is unclear at the time if all of these washer nozzles spray at the same height; However, the GS nozzles do spray lower like the ES nozzles, but are still more effective than the stock SC300/400 nozzles.
Installation is cake. Take two business cards and slide them simultaneously under the front and back of each washer nozzle to compress the plastic clips underneath. Once you feel you've compressed the clips enough, pull the nozzle up. It is attached to a plastic hose. Pull it from the hose from the nozzle and insert the new washer nozzle in place.
Washer nozzles are a special order item at most Lexus dealerships and require a one to three week turnaround.
