spartan Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Just purchased some new Lexus mist/spray washer jets as per the excellent details provided by michael here. FYI, I ordered them online via the Lexus Parts Direct website; the price for a pair (pre-painted) was 26 GBP inc P&P. A bit pricey maybe but I'm looking forward to something a bit more effective than the 3.5 random squirts I get now (despite wasting a couple of pints of washer fluid and half-a-dozen pins from the wife's sewing box, trying to get the bloomin' things aligned).

Abz Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Thanks Spartan, I need to do this on my Supra... mine sprays randomly! Let us know how fitting goes! According to Michael's post it should be pretty easy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'll be ordering these this week aswell, can anyone tell me if these are heated as I'm constantly pulling over in other cars I drive to try and defrost washer jets, some preheated efforts would be a godsend.

SUPRALOOPY Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I have these and they seem to only spray the bottom of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I have these and they seem to only spray the bottom of the screen. I take it you tried tweaking it to get a higher part of the screen? Maybe Michael can confirm this is the case as he has a set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I don't think they are adjustable. The car has not moved for two years..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I don't think they are adjustable. The car has not moved for two years..LOL Who Michael's? He has such a beautiful car & it's just sat there. What's wrong with him! Damn, would be a shame if they wasn't adjustable, though I guess it still works fine? Just a little dry at the top. Maybe the key is to spray the mist & then go really really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Fitted my Lexus upgrade washer jets today, as per Michael's instructions although I had problems sliding a piece of plastic underneath at first so I used ... dental floss (tape)! - this helped to lift it a bit. The pre-painted silver colour is not quite same as mine (1C0 rather than 1B9) but you really can't tell. In use, they work just fine although (as stated elsewhere) they squirt a bit low. I don't think this is a problem with the jets themselves but more likely to do with the pump - I bet Lexus pumps have a bit more pressure and this would also help 'atomise' the washer fluid. Any ideas how I can up the voltage on my washer pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
