Default Front washer nozzle swap

I found a thread almost a year old but never a reply to the front nozzle question.

My xB is at the dealership and they gave me a Corolla - I want the same pattern (fuller spray) that the Corolla's nozzles give. Has anyone bothered swapping to a different nozzle???? I need to find out what type of whole is cut before I can proceed and was going to check out the Corolla before I return it and then hopefully check my xB out.

TRDSparks has the item I want but unfortunately no illustrations...

I swapped my nozzels over to the white LED ones. What difference does the spray pattern make as long as fluid gets on the glass?

Like you say, look at both sprayer units and see if they are about the same size, they should be,and try it, wish i knew for sure to tell you, but i don't.The xB has the three holes that spray correct? I figure that would be the best design for a sprayer. Check it out and let us know, would be interested to hear if it would work...

I like the coverage the Corolla's sprayers give over our OEM - I believe it may clean better if the fluid comes in contact with more of the glass then the 3 spots. Guess I'm just continuing to make slight changes to make the car exactly as I want it.

I'm going to go check out the Corolla right now since I just got off the phone with the dealership and they aren't done with my car yet.

Guess it doesn't matter to me much cause my wipers hardly ever get used cause I don't drive it in the rain.
