I just joined this club today. $44 for a pair. A worthy upgrade.

Upgraded mine today, dunno why I didn't do this ages ago. I used a flat blade screwdriver and lifted one end then the other.

I changed mine over. Used a cable tie as recommended previously in this thread. Easy as... Thanks!

So I just had a look at Amayama (prompted from a different post) and found that they have the washer jets for $8.38 each using the part number from earlier in this thread. I'm not sure how much postage is but surely couldn't be much considering the size of them. Anyone had experience with Amayama before, are they genuine parts or are they likely to be cheap knock offs like the ebay ones?

There's only one way to find out! Eagerly await your feedback I've already taken one for the team with the ebay ones and they're terrible...

I got a quote back from amayama and decided not to get them from there. With postage included they were going to come to about $48. For that price I figured I may as well just go down the road and get them from Toyota.

I got mine from a 4x4 wrecker for $10 the pair, so could be worth checking if you have a wrecker near you.

Changed mine over this afternoon, barely took 10 mins doing it from the top and the best part is I managed to do it without damaging the old ones so can swap them out if I ever sell the prado.

I'm so glad I did it they are SO much better.

Just did this mod tonight and threw on a set of the Bosch wipers while I was at it... Epic! It's like chalk and cheese. Definitely worth the effort. $25 a piece for the jets and $32 for each blade.

Cheers,
AJ

Did mine today....well worth it. Easy to do from the top. Used a cable tie to rest a flat-bladed screwdriver on, pushed in the lugs, pulled the old ones out, removed the hose, re-connected and clipped the new jet back in.

Just installed the Bosch Wipers tonight, jets are next. Also looking at upgrading the factory headlights with extreme vision by Phillips.

Thanks Prado Point
