SCREEN WASHER JET REPLACEMENT

[ahmed-abrar]

I've done some research about replacements items for the original ones in case of failures, but i want to ask because i never noticed if the original jets fire single jet , double jet or fan jet when active? currently my originals are firing single jet which is not very efficient, is that normal for 2008 model year cars?

LPD offer replacements which fire as fan pattern as a upgrade, but the price is frankly daft at about £50 a pair

A company AMAYAMA has been bought to my notice by another forum member & things are much more reasonable (all things considered)

Just looking for opinions before i commit to a change or not as the case may be

I got aftermarket replacements from Aliexpress few years ago for like £7 and still working well. 
 

Amayama is a great website for genuine parts from Japan. I’ve used it many times. Just be wary of expensive parts will incur customs and import charges. For cheap items it’s perfect

I got 2 new jets from eBay. I just typed windscreen washer jets for 2007 lexus is250 and up popped plenty of them. I can't remember how much I paid but I think around £16 which I thought was more than fair. Plus I got them 2 days after I ordered them. 

Personally I can't see using amayama or similar when the same stock, if not better, can be got for a similar price and within a couple days of ordering. But each to their own.

my main concern is the spray pattern of the jets, i have ordered for the first time from amayama a replacement wiper arm at less than half price delivered than was quoted by LPD so lets see how that goes

If I remember right the spray pattern is a fan type spray and Not a jet.
