    I want to say I also redid the hose routing so that each nozzle had the same length of hose from the T. I didn't like that the driver side took longer to spary.

    Too soon to say in case it takes quite sometime for the fluid to backflow back into the tank but check valve installed. There is no flow direction shown so you have 50/50 chance of getting it right the first time around haha.

    To surprise me for my birthday my wife ordered a bunch of stuff off my Amazon shopping list including one of these nozzles. Just one. Love her to death and don’t have the heart to tell her so I’ll do a side by side comparison until I order the second one.

    Crud that makes a lot of sense

    So good news is 24hrs later, no delay, water right away.

    Bad News, was getting some stuff at Lowe's and saw some Gucci windshield fluid and got it too. Loaded her up, started some extended spraying and the system seems to have lost lots of pressure, barely gets any on the windshield. I think only using water for a long time + age, the pump internals are gone, the chemicals in the Gucci fluid wrecked the old girl.

    So new pump is on the way. I have an aftermarket bumper and the older school reservoir setup is tempting but I want to keep cruise control... But my OEM reservoir has the infamous neck degrading issue. Its very tempting to go with the below universal reservoir, looks like it would fit with cruise control and the catch can and additional fuse/relay box I have in that area.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/put-in-this-cheap-easy-fix-for-window-washer-reservoir.310464/

    Or looking at this one- its really small but should fit pretty good.

    These are the perfect upgrade. They work very well, and are adjustable. I would love to know of other mods like this that are so cheap and effective.

    The Genuine Odyssey sprayers are the best for quality. I've used the Chinese versions and the quality and spray between the passenger and driver side is inconsistent.

    yeah i bought ones off Amazon a while back and they are much better than stock but i agree with se7enine, the spray between them is inconsistent and my drivers side has a bit of over spray toward the edge and it gets the driver side of my car wet as hell when i spry.

    i need to get a new set. i believe its possible i may have damaged the nozzle while making adjustments

    but still better than stock

    Just did the upgrade to the Ford sprayers and I'm happy with the results! Also much cheaper than the factory Toyota light saber beam ones.

    Here's the spray pattern with both nozzles installed. Little difficult to see, but much less fluids wasted and more consistent spray.

    I attempted to install the Honda nozzles on my truck this morning.
    Everything went smoothly until I tried to test them out and I never could get them to spray or even get a dribble of fluid out for that matter.
    Swapped the originals back in and they worked as they should. Has anyone else ran into this with the Honda nozzles?
