The housing is fixed on the hood, but the sprayers are adjustable with a safety pin or anything else you can stick into each sprayer to move it up/down/left/right.

Not 100% certain if they are a direct fitment for us, but given that a large majority of the 1st gen Taco has carry-over parts with the 3rd gen 4Runner, I think they will work.
I'm just waiting for an Odyssey to pop up at one of the local yards to give this a shot. Will report back!

Update on this thread. What do you do when you're bored and mostly broke, but the mod bug is itching away? That's right - buy something small and kind of pointless in hopes that it hits as a worthwhile mod. In other words, I pulled the trigger on the Odyssey washers. These to be exact:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LIRXIN0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The hot take: They are way better than stock.
- They fit like OEM
- Are easily aimed from low to high
- Have a nice wide fan spray
Here's a side by side with the stock nozzle:
Odyssey on the left, and that seemingly harmless looking WALL•E fella on the right is the OEM. But don't be fooled by his blank, goofy stare - he actually hides are dark, sinister secret: he sucks at his job, wasting washer fluid, spraying only a small portion of the glass making the wipers pick up his slack, and is prone to freezing up easily.
As for our new washer overlord - Odyssey- as you can see, he has the same elbow joint / orientation, and clip style as OEM
Here's the Odyssey nozzle clipped into place: the footprint is somewhat different but fits as well as the Toyota part did:
And now the moment of truth...
(spraying the garage for the win...)
Wider spay, better throw, and significantly more coverage than stock. Now the wipers are basically just wiping up, rather than being tasked with moving all the fluid around to get coverage. This was after one or two high-low adjustments, which are super easy as the spray "mouth" moves easily up and down as a single piece.
So in summary, mission accomplished - better than stock with no apparent downside.
As for these guys...
N-n-no... please! Don't hurt us, we're sorry. We'll do anything you say! PLEASE!!

Just ordered a set. This is one annoying feature of the Toy.

Yeah, totally. I did some highway driving at ~70mph (aka top speed) and the sprayers did great.

Appreciate you doing the experimentation and sharing here!
To be clear, on that Amazon page you linked, that is just for one nozzle, correct? The Q&A presents conflicting info, some saying one, others a pair...

One nozzle, you'll need to order 2.

Just order a pair of them. I've been wanting to some better spray nozzles for a long time now.
I'll report back once I get them installed on Thursday.
Thanks for the write up!

Thanks for posting a picture of the odyssey nozzle installed & video of the spray pattern.

Maybe I should just go swap out the nozzles between the 4Runner and our Odyssey. :biggrin2:
I can confirm they have a very nice spray pattern. With the fan spray like that, set them a little high while stopped so wind while driving will move the spray pattern down a bit.
I'll put those on the list of OEM parts to get next time I order Honda parts...
