Washer nozzles... opinions?

Was looking for some opinions on this. Has anyone got any experience with the dual jet style washer nozzles? (The ones that shoot 2 solid streams.)

Are they more effective than our stock mist style nozzles?


I was adjusting my nozzles the other day, got them aimed about as good as they're gonna get, but still manages to soak the hood a bit and parts of the glass that the wipers dont even touch. So I'm leaning towards the dual jets, since it seems like you'd have alot more precision with the aiming, but since I've never had any experience with them, I just wanted to get some feedback from others before I grab a set to swap in.



And before anyone mentions it, dont worry, I WILL NOT be going the led washer route. :-P

Thanks in advance.

i have never had a problem with the stock ones, to be honest i think they do a great job.....i would suggest replacing yours with the OEM ones, maybe yours are clogged or damaged?

Oem.

Getting dual holes in a nozzle will decrease the effective pressure coming out

If you want to play with stuff, check out some Hyundais. I have seen some of their cars with 3 streams per nozzle.

I've tried using a dual spray nozzle from an accord.
Doesn't work out so great.

Hmm... well thanks for the feedback folks. Guess I should just stick with stock then.

I'll prolly try cleaning them out, maybe thats part of my problem. Otherwise a new set may be in my future.
